[sims] End of Life Support for SQL Server 2012

[Rawns]

The last I heard, Autumn 2018 is the last supported SIMS release to run on SQL Server 2012, then it's SQL Server 2016 only form Spring 2019.

 

Can anyone confirm if this is still the case or has this time frame been changed by Capita?

I've got a copy of the February 2018 roadmap from a tech guy at Capita - SQL 2012 is showing green till Spring 2020, windows 2008 support ends after autumn 2018....

As of March 2018, Sql 2012 and server 2012 will remain support for the foreseeable future which is Spring 2020 release

Capita advise the following on p6 in the technical roadmap

Capita SIMS will support SQL Server 2012 Service Pack 4 until Spring 2022, in line with Microsoft Extended support

Cheers gents,

 

Just found a version dated April 2018 (https://www.egfl.org.uk/sites/default/files/Finance_data/Data_collection/SIMS%20technical%20roadmap.pdf)

 

Windows Server 2008 (SP2)/R2 (SP1) now both go up to Autumn 2019.

 

SQL Server 2012 still showing as Spring 2020.
