Customer Responsibilities

We support all of our documented features for the database environments listed. We do not support outside of these environments. Customer responsibilities include providing details for any changes and for participating in the testing of any implementation.

Service Notes

Tiered support service rates are subject to change on a Fiscal Year basis. Support of INFORMIX will be retired in the future.

The database environment will be patched on a regular quarterly schedule to keep the environment secure and protect customer data from theft. This patching service is not available in legacy environments as these environments pose security risks and are vulnerable to data theft.

Legacy environments:

- Database legacy technology
- INFORMIX
- Any version of SQL SERVER beyond two oldest (below SQL 2014)
- Any version of Oracle beyond two oldest (below Oracle 12c). Oracle only supports one prior release version. However, Oracle does offer support for two prior release versions at an extended support cost.
