Interoperability applies to WebSphere administrative actions, administrative communication and to application client requests. WebSphere Application Server Versão 9.0 is generally interoperable with WebSphere Application Server Versão 7.0 ou posterior . However, there are specific requirements to address for each version. In general, you should apply the latest fix level to support interoperability. If this is not possible, then the following interim fixes can be used to support your environment.
For web application clients, interoperability is provided by employing the HTTP server plug-in at the highest version of all of the application servers in the cell. For example, a cell comprised of WebSphere Application Server Version 9.0 and Version 8.0 application servers would use a supported HTTP server with a Version 9.0 plug-in. See Technote Web server plug-in policy for WebSphere Application Server for more information.
