PxPlus version for Server 2019

[Mike Hatfield]

Which version(s) of Pxplus are or will be certified for server 2019?

Thanks

As is the case with all versions of PxPlus, we only test/validate the current version of PxPlus on current OS releases.  We do not go back to change older releases of PxPlus to run on version of operating systems that come out AFTER the release of PxPlus.

About the only exception to this rule would be if a new OS release came out shortly after a release of PxPlus and it was causing problems on the then current release.  If this was to happen we would consider releasing an update to the current version of PxPlus to deal with the newer OS version.  The decision to do this would depend on the severity of the problem and the significance of the OS (number of users/clients using it -- Windows more likely than some obscure Linux version).

In recent memory I can only remember once where a new OS version caused us to update the then current release of PxPlus.  That was with Windows Server 2016 and changes that were made to the permissions it assigned to the install directory.  To resolve this issue we changed our installation routines and added some warning to the registration process -- but we ONLY made these change to the current release of PxPlus.

So to answer your question -- given Windows Server 2019 is due for release Q3-Q4 this year, we will test it with PxPlus 2019.  The current schedule will allow us a few months to test PxPlus on it prior our release scheduled for May 2019. 

Unless there is a MAJOR reason clients must update their system to Windows 2019 and a MAJOR issue running PxPlus 2018 on it, we don't have plans to test until then.
