Saying Goodbye to IBM Planning Analytics 2.0.9
IBM has announced the end of support for IBM Planning Analytics 2.0.9, effective April 30, 2025. This affects IBM Planning Analytics Local and Express users, whether installed on-premises or in the cloud (e.g., AWS or Azure). To stay supported and avoid potential service disruptions, upgrading to version 2.1.x is essential.
What Does End of Support Mean?
After April 30, 2025, IBM will no longer provide support, fixes, or updates for version 2.0.9. Extended support is available but can be costly. Upgrading to version 2.1.x now can help avoid downtime and access IBM’s latest features.
Legacy Interfaces No Longer Supported in 2.1.x
Upgrading to version 2.1.x also means transitioning from several legacy components, which are replaced by enhanced tools in the Planning Analytics Workspace (PAW). Below is a summary of the changes:
IBM Planning Analytics 2.0.9 | IBM Planning Analytics 2.1.x |
|---|---|
TM1 Perspectives Excel Add-in | Replaced by Planning Analytics for Excel, Modeler Workbench in PAW |
