IBM MQ Recommended Fixes and Planned Maintenance release dates

Preventive Service Planning


Abstract

This document provides information about current and planned maintenance for IBM MQ.

Content

There are two types of IBM MQ maintenance: Fix Packs and Cumulative Security Updates (CSUs). As Cumulative Security Updates are delivered only in response to disclosed security vulnerabilities, no planned delivery dates are provided.

To determine the target maintenance delivery for a Known Issue (code fix), see the published Known Issue page. For further assistance, open a case or contact an IBM MQ support representative via the IBM MQ Support portal.

Base Support releases
 
For releases in their base support period, IBM provides regular maintenance.
