The IBM JVM has its own support timeline but actual support is based on support of other IBM products. For Dynatrace, the most important product here is WebSphere Application Server (see the support timeline).
WebSphere Application Server is on the Enhanced Lifecycle policy. This means that although WebSphere 8 is EOS as of April 2018, IBM will continue to support it until 2021.
Dynatrace will support WebSphere and the underlying JVM versions as long as they are supported by IBM. See our supported technologies matrix for details.
This means that, at the moment, IBM JVM 6,7, and 8 have open-ended support.
Memory dumps require IBM JVM 7 or higher.
