Maximo Open Forum

Hello all,

We are planning upgrade of windows server from 2012 to windows 2019.
The current maximo version is 7.6.1.3 and Websphere version is 9.0.5.13
Will there be any impact to the Maximo or Websphere?
How will the "System information" in maximo is refreshed? Will it be updated automatically otr any stpes required.
Kindly clarify.

Thanks!
Sankar

Windows Server 2019 is supported for 7.6.1.3 so that shouldn't be an issue. We've always rebuilt a new image rather than try to upgrade in place so I can't let you know of any specific concerns from a WebSphere perspective but that would be transparent to Maximo. System Info pulls using APIs from WebSphere & Java so it should show the correct version automatically. 

Thanks! Steven! I'll tryand keep posted on the upgrade progress.

We are in the process of doing this on all our servers. We were unable to do an OS update and instead had to create new 2019 servers and install Maximo on those servers and then migrate and update the database in SQL Server (we are using MS SQL server and it has an update procedure inherent in it) and then updatedb in Maximo. If you don't use an image to do this and you choose to install Maximo from scratch you will need to bypass the Prereq check on the installation file because the older installation files don't like 2019.

Hi Megan I've done the same process but upgrade From Windows 2016 to Windows 2022 and for last from WIndows 22 to Windows 2025, and everythings appears run properly, but the sysinfo message shown from question icon in Maximo continue showing Windows 2016. I couldn't find from where is setted the value.

Any help/idea is appreciated

Kind Regards
