Hi,
I think it would make sense to forklift upgrade it to EL8 rather than EL7 as
you will have several more years of runway for your app.
Depending on the language the application was written in, you will at least
need to recompile it in a build environment that matches the target environment
Often an rpm from an older Linux OS will still work on a newer one, but
it depends on how complicated it is. It would be best to recompile it
from the source rpm and make a new binary rpm out of it based on RHEL7,
although it is likely that some porting will also need to be done for
that.

As a bunch of dirty finger engineers we have a serious problem with the
the path that Linux has taken.
Be forwarned that when you migrate to 7 and later the 32 libs are gone
and most applications will not work or install.
SL 6.9 is also missing a lot of the 32 bit libs and the graphics do not

Because of vendor update situations and other causes I (and my grad
students) have done what you require more than once.
The easiest approach -- if you have adequate disk space, etc., it to use
Virtual Box (licensed for free) or VMWare (variant depending upon what
you need -- the only one that

Yes, for better or worse, that's part of "binary compatible". If you need bugs
fixed faster than RedHat is fixing them, you need to fix them yourself, or get
someone else to. Sometimes you can find newer versions with fixes in other
public repos, but again, the onus is on you to provide the fix
To support products for 22 years is difficult.
Using VMware is a good solution that we have been using for a long time.
I even use Win2000 pro for some applications and Dos all under VMWare.
The connection to the Linux file system is "samba".
Everyone misses the point. The problem is setting up
Larry,
It's NOT difficult to support a distro for 22 years. Look at Slackware.
It's difficult to keep up with shiny kewl new toys, many of which after
15 years STILL don't work correctly (i.e. don't have serious regressions
that break running systems).
The issue is that developers get kewl
I will check out slackware.
Thanks
