IBM provides lifecycle data in eXtensible Markup Language (XML) format for customers who need to perform automated processing and analysis of IBM lifecycle data. If you simply need to receive automatic daily updates of this information in a human-readable format, we recommend that you subscribe to the lifecycle news feed.
We update our lifecycle data once per day. The daily download contains all products whose lifecycle data has changed in the previous 24 hours. To download this data, select the Download daily XML data link below. Your browser will prompt you to open or save the data to a file.
Our Product lifecycle XML data schema document describes the format, organization, and relationships within the XML product lifecycle data. If you plan to create custom software to process the XML data, you will find the schema useful. Even if you choose simply to import the XML data into a spreadsheet, the documentation within the schema file will help you understand the organization of data contained in the XML data.
