Today is the end of regular support for IBM i version 7.2.
Launched in May 2014, 7.2 has been a supported operating system for seven years. With its coming off support there remains only two releases of IBM i that are still supported, versions 7.3 and 7.4.
If you are still using 7.2 and you want continue support ask your IBM Business Partner if there is a Service Extension agreement. I have seen one mentioned as "TBA", but I have not seen any details. As an incentive to move to a more modern release IBM extended support tends to be more expensive than support was before.
If are using 7.2 and you can upgrade to a new release then you ought to consider doing so sooner rather than later, so that you will remain on IBM support. Being off support is not a good idea as you can no longer expect PTFs if any security updates, etc., are needed to keep your business safe and secure.
