Hi there,

today we checked the installation requirements for MicroFocus Cobol Server 6.0 and 7.0. The supported OS version include CentOS 7 and 8 but not RockyLinux 8 or 9. 

Because CentOS 7 and 8 will no longer developed and will run out of support soon, is there any plan to support RockyLinux as a non official replacement for CentOS?

Best,
Thomas

Hi Thomas,

Simple, answer: Yes, we had plans and it's done & dusted and it will be available in 9.0

You should take a look at the up-coming 9.0 release, which is GA end of June and a launch video will be available to view in July.
