Below is the current update(s) for Catapult.

Update Requirements

There are currently no updates for Catapult 7.10 which is the current release. Download 7.10 here.

You must be at release 6.10 or higher to upgrade. To verify your Catapult iSeries release level you can open the Catapult Console and select the Help/Test Connection menu option or run the command: DSPDTAARA XL_CATAPLT/SP_CATAPLT.

If you are at version 4 or lower and wish to upgrade please contact tech support.

Catapult 6.19 and 7.10

During May and June of 2009 we will be doing a phased-in release of Catapult 7.10.
  • If you are a current Catapult customer upgrading from a previous release, DO NOT install 7.10. We are completing internal testing on the process that converts version 6 grab rules to the new version 7 file structure. This is ONLY a concern for existing customers upgrading existing, busiiness-critical rules.
  • If you are running into limitations with Catapult 6, and would like to upgrade to Catapult 7.10 ASAP, we are actively conducting assisted upgrades. Please email us for details or call (250)655-1766.
  • If you are installing Catapult for the first time to evaluate the software, you SHOULD install version 7.10. Catapult 7.10 is an order of magnitude faster, more stable, and more powerful than previous versions.
If you have any questions about which version to install, please contact Technical Support by email or call (250)655-1766 before running your install.
