Question
Availability of EAR media package of PRPC v 7.2.1.
Hi SMEs,
Can you please confirm if the EAR version of PRPC v7.2.1 is available or not?
In the installation guide found in the link below, it is mentioned that PRPC V7.2.1 comes both in EAR & WAR format. However, we have also heard a message that as of now, its only WAR version of PRPC v 7.2.1 is released by Pega Systems.

Please confirm the following -
1. Availability of EAR media package of PRPC v 7.2.1.
2. If it is not available right away, what is the tentative date by which the EAR Media Package will be available to customers.
Thanks & regards,
Arka Bhattacharya
Hi Ganga,
It is mentioned in Platform support guide [https://pdn.pega.com/documents/platform-support-guide] under "Application Servers" topic at Page 5. Please find below the relevant piece from that document -
IBM WebSphere
Liberty
(8.5.5.6 or higher)
(using IBM Java 8)
supported for
WAR
installations
only
Supported for:
Liberty Core
Liberty Base
Liberty Express
Liberty Network
Deployment (ND)

Hi,
I think WAR file would be available specific to IBM WebSphere Liberty(8.5.5.6 or higher)(using IBM Java 8) version only. For remaining application server versions both EAR and WAR's are available.
Hi All,
I raised an SR 'SR-A87056' for this and got the queries clarified.
IBM Java SE 8 is supported in IBM Websphere 8.5.5.9 and above. So If you go for IBM WebSphere 8.5.5.9 then both WAR & EAR deployment and Java 8 will be supported.
Thanks all for the help.
Hi there,
That statement you quoted is only for Liberty profile which is a light-weighted Websphere deployment model. Ear deployment is supported for all other standard profiles.
Hope this clarifies.
Generally Pega releases distribution media which includes EAR & WAR to support web and application servers.
Could you please point us that from where did you find Pega releases WAR file only? Incase if you have 7.2.1 distribution media, you can check the same in archives folder.
