Support for third-party products

To receive full support for a BMC product, you must have such product installed in a supported environment, as specified in the BMC product documentation. If a third-party vendor cancels support for one of its products (such as an operating system or subsystem), and that third-party product integrates or interacts with the BMC product you have licensed, you must upgrade to a supported version of that third-party product before BMC Customer Support can provide you with support for the affected BMC product. For further information, see BMC's product support policy.

  • SAP SQL Anywhere 16  (embedded with the BMC TrueSight Infrastructure Management Server)

Note

In Oracle 12c, Infrastructure Management supports pluggable databases but not directly installing into a container database.

The non-CDB architecture is deprecated in Oracle Database 12c. The non-CDB architecture might not be supported and might be unavailable in a release after the Oracle Database 12c Release 2. Oracle recommends using the CDB architecture. For more information, see https://docs.oracle.com/database/121/UPGRD/deprecated.htm#BABDBCJI and https://docs.oracle.com/database/121/UPGRD/deprecated.htm#UPGRD60000.

BMC products should work fine with minor updates to these supported operating systems. For assistance, contact BMC Customer Support.
