Hi Madhavan

Not sure what you exact version is?

you might want to run

? REL

to share this info

In general the product release notes or readme will show the supported versions of Apache and Tomcat

here's the doc for 8207 27

Depending on your version it will support Tomcat 8.x or 9.x (or both) 10 is not yet supported.

For Java depending on your version WebFOCUS will support Java 8 or 11 - 1.8.0_371 should be ok

Hi Patrick,

Thank you for very quick response.

I am not sure about the REL command. Please add more details. So that, i can run and share. However, below is the snippet of the information provided in version.cfg file.

gen_num = 1127

irel = 8200M

release = M728200D

source_date = 02/21/2018 10:19:35

gen_build_date = 02/21/2018 17:48:50

gen_build_date_utc = 02/21/2018 22:48:50

buildsys = Windows NT-6.3 X86_64 64bit

supportsys = Windows x86_64 64bit

Please let me know whether this gives us the exact product version. If so, please let me know whether it will support Apache 9.X

Thank you in Advance!!

Hi Madhavan

this version is quite old (>5 years) - you night want to consider to move to a more recent version

Looking at 8205 from 2019 - oldest version that there's a manual available for

https://webfocusinfocenter.informationbuilders.com/wfdesigner/pdfs5/8205_relguide.pdf

Only Tomcat 8.x was supported at that time

To get an official answer please open a support ticket
