Product Documentation
Abstract
This page provides detailed software requirements for IBM Content Classification, Version 8.8 and each subsequent fix pack.
This page describes the minimum product levels to install before opening a problem report with the IBM Content Classification support team. Because other products frequently ship fixes, updates, and new releases, we cannot test every possible configuration. In general, you can install and run with updates, such as fix packs, to supported product releases (not necessarily significant new product versions), if those updates are forward compatible.
