WebSphere Portal Server Version 6.0.1.6 (AIX)

This page describes the minimum product levels that need to be installed before opening a problem report with the WebSphere Portal Support team. Because other products frequently ship fixes, updates, and new releases, testing every configuration is not possible. In general, you can install and run with updates to supported products if those updates are forward compatible.

The list below identifies the supported products that work with the WebSphere Portal on an AIX operating system.The supported product can run, but does not need to run, on the same machine or operating system where the WebSphere Portal runs. Check product-specific software requirements to determine whether software runs native or connected to the WebSphere Portal.
