This document provides information on IBM® and vendor-acquired software that is compatible with TXSeries® for Multiplatforms V9.1. The minimum maintenance levels are listed. TXSeries is not tested with every maintenance level of every product. In general, you can install and run with updates to supported product levels, if those updates are compatible with later maintenance level. If you use later maintenance levels and experience problems, test with the levels specified in this document before contacting your IBM support representative.

For the supported software that is listed, refer to the respective product website for their system requirements and specifications.
