1OpenShift Container Platform versions are subject to their own support dates. See OpenShift Container Platform Life Cycle Policy for more information.

2OpenShift Container Platform 4.20.0 introduced a bug (OCPBUGS-62095) that impacts IBM MQ; there is a decrease in the default maximum open files soft limit for containers to 1024 files. This number does not meet the minimum requirement to run IBM MQ on Linux® (10240 files). This bug is resolved in OpenShift Container Platform 4.20.1.

  • SC2: IBM Cloud Pak for Integration - Support Cycle 2 (formerly Long Term Support) is available.
