Long-term support upgrade guidance
The 6.2.3 stream is the current Long-Term Support (LTS) release. LTS streams receive extended fix packs, security updates, and are the IBM recommended long-term target for all deployments.
BELOW 6.2.3.xUpgrade to the latest 6.2.3 fix level (6.2.3.6). Use the ⤳ Recommended path column in the matrix below for your specific version's step-by-step route.
ABOVE 6.2.3.xStay on your current stream and keep current with fix packs. A new LTS stream has not yet been published. Wait for IBM to announce the next LTS before planning a major stream upgrade.
Important notice before you upgrade
