J2EE Agents and Minor Version Support of Servers and Operating Systems

This section provides examples of minor version support that applies to J2EE agents in the Policy Agent 2.2 software set. Be aware that terms such as service pack or update do not always apply when referring to minor versions. For example, in reference to the deployment container IBM WebSphere Application Server 5.1.1, the term “minor” refers to the part of the version number after “5.1.” Therefore, 5.2 is not considered a minor version. All versions that exist in the 5.1.0 series (5.1.x) are considered minor.

The following examples illustrate the type of minor version support provided. For these examples, the agent is Agent for BEA WebLogic Server/Portal 8.1 SP4. One of the platforms for which this agent was originally tested was BEA WebLogic Server/Portal 8.1 SP4 on Windows 2003, Enterprise Edition.

For example, you could use Agent for BEA WebLogic Server/Portal 8.1 SP4 with BEA WebLogic Server/Portal 8.1 SP5 on Windows 2003, Enterprise Edition, SP2.
