Introduction

This white paper provides an overview of the software compatibility of the EMC®

Document Sciences® xPression® software suite, which lists supported product combinations for the EMC Document Sciences xPression product sets.

The white paper lists component version compatibilities for all the active xPression releases, including v4.2, v4.5 and v4.5 SP1. The information in this compatibility guide are based on the latest release notes and operating requirements. Because of this, the information in this publication is accurate as of its publication date. The information is subject to change without notice. Also, if a configuration or version is not stated, that configuration or version is not supported.

For more information on installations and upgrades, please visit support.emc.com to read the xPression Installation Guide and the xPression Upgrade Guide.

Legend

Abbreviation Definition — Not supported. xPression does not support the configuration. X Supported. xPression supports the configuration. N/A Not Applicable. The configuration is not applied to xPression

currently.

Certifications Policies

This is the official EMC Document Sciences certifications policies for the third party software that are distributed with xPression products. This policy consists of the following three sections:

1. Limit our certifications to the most popular and most requested

platforms/operating systems and industry standards.

a. Prioritize the most popular platforms and combinations to the front of our

certification schedule;

b. Maintain certification for most recent major release (up to one year) and depending on demand, the previous major release, e.g. recent is 6.x, and 5.x is previous major;

c. Typically add new platform certifications in new releases of xPression;

d. Typically certify the latest dot release when running new certifications,

e. For example, we certified 5.5 of Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) in xPression 4.1SP1, but will certify RHEL 5.8 in xPression 4.2;

f. Adjust the fundamental time frames for certification based on major technology changes, e.g. J2EE version changes, Java level changes.

2. Lean toward certification of platforms and versions that other product

(Documentum) in the IIG stack certifies.

3. Occasionally certify a platform previously uncertified depending on frequency of the customer requests to do so.

4. Certify the variations in the third party software versions depending on the backward compatibility of the third party vendor software.

a. EMC provides the version numbers of the third party software with which

xPression has been certified. For variations in software versions, xPression relies on the vendor to ensure backward compatibility between maintenance and patch release revisions. For example, in a version w.x.y.z (major, minor, maintenance, and patch, respectively), variations in major and minor numbers typically cannot be guaranteed to work if the following compatibility matrix doesn’t list it;

b. Variations in maintenance and patch numbers are generally acceptable; however, it is also dependent on the third party vendor and what they ensure


for backward compatibility. If you experience an issue with a maintenance or patch number variation, EMC Support will first attempt to replicate the issue on an xPression certified platform, and any replicated issues will be addressed;

c. If the issue is not replicable on the certified platform (i.e. is unique to the maintenance or patch number variation), then EMC will provide support in resolving the issue, assuming a backward compatibility guarantee from the third party vendor. However, adjunct support may be required from the vendor, and it may be that software fixes are required from the vendor (rather than EMC) as part of their guarantee of backward compatibility.

EMC reserves the right to change this policy in the future. EMC will do so only after consulting with the public EMC community, in order to ensure that all views are taken into account.
