System Requirements and Compatibility

This page provides a table listing support for the third party applications that are required to run PhixFlow at major releases:

  • A web browser (on the client side)
  • A database server
  • An application server
  • Java runtime environment

    Remember to update your database drivers to be compatible with the version of Java that PhixFlow requires.

The table below also mentions any special upgrade instructions that you should be aware of when planning to migrate to a new version. Use the table below to determine if you need to plan  upgrades to other software with your IT department. Full details of all special instructions between your current version and the new version are available in Special Upgrade Instructions.

PhixFlow does not support Oracle's MySQL, but it can theoretically be used as an alternative to MariaDB.

Should you have any problems with an earlier version than that listed, but within 2 years of the release date, or a later version than that listed, please contact the PhixFlow support desk.
