What's changed in Version 9.0.0.x Long Term Support

The Long Term Support (LTS) release is a recommended product level for which support, including defect and security updates, are provided over a specified period of time. This version is intended for systems which demand a long term deployment and maximum stability.

Long term support for the IBM MQ Version 9.0.0 level of function is provided as PTFs for z/OS®, or rolled up into fix packs on Multiplatforms. These Long Term Support (LTS) fixes contain only defect fixes and security updates, and are made available at regular intervals.

Long Term Support releases do not deliver new functional enhancements. These releases are intended for systems that demand maximum stability over a long term deployment period.
