we are trying to upgrade our wmb 7.0.0.1 to 7.0.0.7 and its done
machine java version is 1.7
but when we are going to start wmb, wmb says it need to java v1.6
what is your idea?
is wmb v 7.0.0.7 based on java 1.6 ( idont thing so) ?
or a missmatch exists some where in wmb's configuration? where??

Without knowing the specifics of what you are running where, it is difficult to guess.

If you are running on a non-IBM platform, I think you'll need 1.6.

why should we carry on the research the You and Your support should have already done ???
a simple google with websphere 7 zos message broker prerequisites would have provides many links
with the relevant info.

for example
www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg27016448

it took no more than 5 seconds to do it
probably it is not enough,
but it will give You an idea of what You can find simply by googling

sometimes You must read IBM docs the same way You read Your travel agent all included holidays flyers

what is not explicitly told/written is not provided/supported

I meant, if you have a problem with an IBM product which you and your technical people are unable to resolve, then you can "ask IBM".

thanks bill
for the time being we have no support from ibm and the upgrading is accomplished by our technical team. it's clear if we had any support from ibm, we would ask from them.
unfortunatly we dont have it.

in many ibm references we have searched, we don't find any solutions.
it's a high technical issue and i hope some one has an experience about that!
