There are a number of IBM Cloud Pak System (CPS) clients that have been successfully running IBM Business Automation Workflow (BAW) for many years. On 23 September 2022, IBM released a new pattern for IBM BAW 21.0.3 LTSR (Long Term Serviceability Release):
- IBM Business Automation Workflow 21.0.3 Pattern on Red Hat Enterprise Linux Multilingual (M07YRML)
Note: IBM updated the IBM Business Automation Workflow and IBM Integration Designer Software Support Lifecycle Addendum document on 13 December 2022, providing a full 3 years of support on every IBM BAW LTSR release from 21.0.3 onwards. In addition, one year of extended support is provided at no charge (and another year of paid extended support can be provided at IBM’s discretion). Previously, IBM provided two years of support for BAW LTSR releases.
Clients with IBM BAW entitlement can simply download this from IBM Passport Advantage. Detailed information on how to install and use it on IBM CPS is available from IBM Support – IBM Business Automation Workflow 21.0.3 Pattern Type Version 1.0.1.0 documentation.
Please note that – as per the IBM Business Automation Workflow and IBM Integration Designer Software Support Lifecycle Addendum – IBM BAW 19.0.0.3 will reach End of Support on 31 December 2022. As a result, clients should avoid using the pattern for BAW 19.0.0.3 below for new deployments:
- IBM Business Automation Workflow 19.0.0.3 Pattern on Red Hat Enterprise Linux (CC96VML)
And as a reminder, the IBM BAW 18.0.0.2 already reached End of Support on 13 December 2020. So IBM CPS clients should no longer be using the pattern for BAW 18.0.0.2 below:
- IBM Business Automation Workflow 18.0.0.2 Pattern on Red Hat Enterprise Linux Multilingual (CC0Z2ML)
