IBM MQ planned maintenance release dates

Product Documentation


Abstract

Here are the planned maintenance availability dates for the IBM MQ family of products. These dates are estimates for the availability of future maintenance.

These published dates are subject to change. IBM updates this page as soon as any changes to release dates are known. Periodically check this page so that you are aware of any changes.

If you need to find out which maintenance delivery an APAR (code fix) is targeted for, you can speak to your IBM service representative.

Content

From the beginning of 2023, IBM MQ is delivering extra security maintenance in the form of cumulative security updates in between planned fix packs when required. These cumulative security updates also increment the fourth ("F") digit of the V.R.M.F version number. Accordingly, from 2023 Fix Pack maintenance releases use "F" digits that are multiples of 5 to differentiate these releases from cumulative security updates. Cumulative security updates use "F" digits that are not multiples of 5. For more information, see the description of changes to IBM MQ's maintenance delivery model. As cumulative security updates are delivered only when required in response to a disclosed security vulnerability, they are not included in the list of planned maintenance deliveries in this document.
