We are pleased to announce that, following a successful review period, we are now able to offer support for the use of MySQL 8.0.41 with assyst ITOM 5.8.4.1.
Please note that no new software is being released for this feature. A comprehensive Wiki document, available here outlines the necessary steps to upgrade the default MySQL installation, v8.0.33, provisioned with assyst ITOM 5.8.4.1, to MySQL v8.0.41. However, please be aware of the following considerations:
- Support for MySQL 8.0.41 is limited to the latest release of assyst ITOM, v5.8.4.1. Customers wishing to upgrade to MySQL 8.0.41 and currently using an earlier version of assyst ITOM (prior to v5.8.4.1) must first upgrade to assyst ITOM v5.8.4.1. Detailed instructions for this process are available here , and the necessary software can be obtained from the CDN.
- At this time, we only support the use of MySQL 8.0.41 on Windows Servers.
Additionally, it is important to note that upgrading to MySQL 8.0.41 requires updating both the ODBC Connector and the j/Connector to their latest versions. Instructions for this are included in the aforementioned link.
We anticipate that the next release of ITOM (v25R1), scheduled for June, will include support for at least MySQL 8.0.41 as part of the installation.
