Support Windows 2022 / SQL 2022 for BP 6/7

[SergioSampietro]

Hello,

we have an environment with:

-Blue Prism 6.10.5

-Windows 2012

-SQL Server 2012

we would like to upgrade on the latest Windows Server and SQL Server.

Checking the BP documentation 

Blue Prism software and hardware requirements

I see that with BP 6 we have:

• Windows Server 2019 --> Supported
• Windows Server 2022 --> Under evalutaion
• SQL Server 2019 --> Supported
• SQL Server 2022 --> Not available for Blueprism 6 and 7

I would like to know:

• When Windows Server 2022  will be supported for BluePrism 6?
• When SQL Server 2022 will be supported for Blueprism 6 and 7?

Thank you

Sergio

Hi, is there an update to this? Specifically, will Blue Prism 6.10.5 work with the Blue Prism SQL Server being on SQL Server 2022, and running in SQL Server 2019 compatibility mode. It is worth noting that all other SQL servers, which are connected to within processes, have been updated to SQL Server 2022 being run in SQL Server 2019 compatibility mode, and are working perfectly

@Nathan.Jones91 It will definitely work. I think there may be some combination of BP version and SQL server version with some kind of issue, but I've installed and witnessed other installs of all kinds of combinations of these including 2012, 2016, and 2022. I do believe the only "issues" I saw involved SQL Server 2012, which no one should be on anymore even though I know people are.

The other thing to note is that the only thing "not supported" is old versions of Windows such as 7 and 8, which again no one should be on anymore even though I know some people are, despite this being a security risk.

You should have no issues upgrading any version of Blue Prism including 6.10.5 to SQL Server 2022. But you of course will not want to trust that likelihood and make sure to back up your database(s). What we do is create entirely new servers with the new versions and then migrate to them instead of trying to upgrade the version of SQL server on an existing server.
