SQL Server 2025 Support

Kinetic ERP
1

Wondering if anyone has any insight on if SQL Server 2025 is going to be one of the officially supported Technology Stacks for Kinetic 2026.2 (or even 2026.1)?

We’re interested in some of the features around JSON that it brings for some of our in-house applications.

Thanks!

@timshuwy may have some insight into that officially ( Safe Harbor of course :ring_buoy:).

I know the CR for 2026.1 is out. But not sure if they added SQL 2025 support. With classic ending I could both sides of it. Not spending the time to test and validate SQL 2025 to focus on Kinetic. But could also see them wanting to keep up.

I doubt it will be supported because SSRS is only supported through 2022 and they haven’t released bold reports yet or even said the date for bold reports.

Ah yeah. Didn’t think about SSRS. That will hold up SQL 2025.

I doubt SSRS not being released as part of SQL server 2025 will stop Epicor support SQL server 2025.

As per the reporting services consolidation FAQ SSRS 2022 will continue to be supported until January 2033 and will work with later version of SQL server.

Alternatively PBIRS which is available to everyone from 2025 and beyond is practically SSRS and more. And also works with Epicor’s usage of SSRS as a drop in replacement. :safe_harbor:

Also, often installation documentation, which states the supported versions, is not up to date until GA. So even if someone :wink: had access to it through controlled release for 2026.100 it will not be the final documentation until GA.

Wait we just upgraded to 2025 to support our upgrade to 2025.2 on prem did we jump the shark?

Maybe… did you try installing SSRS yet?

The install docs say that OS 22 + SQL 22 OR OS 25 + SQL 22 are certified for v2025.2

We have not. Where would one find said install docs?

In theory it will work fine. You can always set the compatibility level down to 2022 and it SQL will run as 2022. SSRS very likely works too it’s just not officially supported if you have issues.

You’ll have to login to get that with a valid EpicWeb account.
