Changes to JVM profiles

A summary of the changes to JVM profile options, across supported CICS® TS releases.

If you are upgrading from an end-of-service release, you can find information about the changes that are relevant to those releases in Summary of changes from end-of-service releases.

Changes to options in JVM profiles by release of CICS TS

New, changed, and obsolete options in JVM profiles are summarized in the tables that are shown, along with what type of JVM server they are compatible with. For more information about the options, see JVM profile validation and properties.
