**See Compatibility considerations for Service Bus for Windows Server.
Compatibility considerations for Service Bus for Windows Server
Note: The RabbitMQ 3.10 series became unsupported by the vendor on 12/31/2023. We cannot guarantee compatibility of RabbitMQ 3.10.x with Server 2022 or Server 2023 after 12/31/2023 and recommend upgrading to a supported version of RabbitMQ. For details on RabbitMQ's version policies, see RabbitMQ versions. If you are upgrading to 3.12.x, review the RabbitMQ upgrade overview beforehand to avoid issues during the upgrade process.
While Relativity will continue to support Service Bus for Windows Server for the near future, RabbitMQ is the recommended message broker for Relativity Server 2022. Microsoft has announced that support for Service Bus for Windows Server will end in January 2023 and the product is no longer receiving security updates.
While we aren't aware of any issues with Service Bus for Windows Server with the Service Bus TLS 1.2 update running on any of the supported Windows Server/SQL Server combinations for Server 2022, Relativity can't guarantee compatibility outside of Microsoft’s official support matrix. Future updates from Microsoft may impact the stability of your infrastructure if you aren't running the service bus on a supported OS and SQL platform.
Note: For information on service bus compatibility, see the Workarounds for Service Bus 1.1 with TLS 1.2 section for your version of Relativity
