IBM i 7.6 and JD Edwards EnterpriseOne - JD Edwards has NOT tested or certified EnterpriseOne on IBM i 7.6. Generally, JD Edwards focuses on a maximum of two OS releases for support and currently IBM i 7.4 and IBM i 7.5 are those releases. With IBM announcing the end of IBM i 7.4 standard support in 2026, stay tuned for any announcement of EnterpriseOne certification with IBM i 7.6 in late 2026. Customers should reach out to their JD Edwards client or support contacts to make their desire for IBM i 7.6 support known. Customers can also reach out to the IBM Oracle Competency Center (ibmoracle@us.ibm.com) to make their IBM i 7.6 support request known.
IBM i 7.6 and JD Edwards World Solutions - JD Edwards has announced that IBM i 7.6 will not be certified with JD Edwards World releases. Please refer to My Oracle Support document ID 3083093.1 (WS: IBMUPG: IBM 7.6 and JD Edwards World KB276327) for details. JD Edwards World releases may continue to work as expected, but Oracle cannot confirm issues will not exist and development will not be contacted for issues.
IBM i 7.5 and JD Edwards EnterpriseOne & World Solutions - JD Edwards has completed certification for EnterpriseOne on IBM i 7.5. EnterpriseOne certification for i 7.5 is available with tools release 9.2.7.3. Earlier versions of tools releases are not tested or certified by Oracle.

Technical Notes & Informational APARs
We recommend that you transition to using My Oracle Support and the Certifications tab for the latest information on specific JD Edwards solutions (EnterpriseOne and World), and what IBM i OS releases they are supported on.
NOTE: Typically not updated after Oracle first certifies a given OS release.
EnterpriseOne - IBM i Solution
JD Edwards EnterpriseOne was originally launched in the mid 1990s under the name OneWorld -- and is the cross-platform client/server solution loosely based on the JD Edwards World solution (which was IBM i only). OneWorld was followed by the release of OneWorld Xe in 2000 -- which eventually was renamed EnterpriseOne. EnterpriseOne runs on the IBM i (AS/400, System i, iSeries) platform as well as Unix (including IBM AIX), Windows and Linux (x86) platforms. EnterpriseOne supports multiple databases including Db2 for i, DB2 UDB, Oracle, and Microsoft SQL Server. The latest EnterpriseOne versions are 9.2 and 9.1. Older versions that are no longer supported (but potentially still in use) include 9.0, 8.12, 8.11, and ERP 8.
For detailed certification and support information -- My Oracle Support (MOS) is the official source. Here is an unofficial matrix of JD Edwards EnterpriseOne support by IBM i OS release (both EnterpriseOne tools and applications):
