Another quarter has passed. Any news on Domino support for IBM i 7.6? Since then IBM now offers support for Java 21 on both IBM i 7.6 and 7.5. 7.4 and below will never get it.
Thomas, Thank you for that information.
Any timeline on IBM i 7.6 support?
You can very well run a 32bit Notes client, e.g. Notes 12.0.2 FPx against a Domino server 14.0 or 14.5 which is 64bit !
You dont have to upgrade clients when upgrading the server. Of course any new functionality of the client will not be available, but typically all* existing functionality will continue to work.
*) except for functions that we have announced to be depricated.
Any update on this?
Am I reading this wrong?
"Starting with Domino 14.0, only 64-bit Notes clients are supported. "

First of all I really want to know when you will be supporting IBM i 7.6 with Domino.
But, as far as your questions go. Yes we know the server runs 64 bit. But only Domino 12 supports Windows clients running 32 bit Notes client apps. We tried running 64bit Notes clients under Domino 12 but they would fail with our custom applications. The Notes client apps we have use multiple 32bit Windows API calls. What exactly, IDK, I'm not the app developer. We've recently hired another app developer and it is on his list to migrate that but there are so many priorities. And he basically was to replace someone who retired.
If I was to upgrade my server to Domino 14 I would have to swap out all my 32bit Windows Notes clients to 64 bit Notes clients.
On the plus side, we do have the following setup in a test environment:
Release of base option . . . . . . . : V7R6M0

HCL Domino (r) Server (Release 12.0.2FP5 for i5/OS) 06/09/2025 09:03:24
And this seems to be working. But "the man" says that doesn't qualify as "supported".
Also: why do you want to push for the latest OS bei g used while you want to stay behind with Domino? It would be more ligical to upgrade both.
e.g. you can upgrade your server to v14 and continue to use clients on v12
