Infor LX & BPCS Tip: Support for IBM i 7.3 and Infor LX Products
On September 30, 2022, IBM® announced the end of support of IBM i operating system 7.3 effective September 30, 2023. In line with IBM’s support policy, Infor will no longer support LX and related products on IBM i 7.3 after May 31, 2024.
All Infor LX releases, patches, and related solutions are planned to be delivered and compiled at IBM i 7.4, effective June 1, 2024. These deliverables will install and function on version 7 release 4 (IBM i 7.4) and above. This will require that your operating system is at a minimum release level of IBM i 7.4.
This policy extends to other Infor LX-related technologies including WebTop, System i Workspace (SiW), and Infor Development Framework (IDF).
Action Steps
If you have not done so already, we recommend that you start planning and completing your upgrade to IBM i 7.4 or above prior to June 1, 2024. After this date, if you register a support call with Infor Support, and your application still runs on IBM i 7.3 or older, you may be requested to upgrade to a supported version of the IBM i operating system.
In addition, we invite you to log on to Infor Support to view and download important information regarding Infor LX.
