Problem conclusion
This APAR adds support for Java 17 using IBM Semeru Runtime Certified Edition for z/OS. A minimum version of 17.0.7 is required. The CICS documentation will be updated to describe considerations for using Java 17. Java 17 is supported when used with: - CICS OSGi JVM servers - CICS Axis2 JVM servers at CICS TS 5.6 and higher - CICS assistants for web services, JSON, and XML IBM recommends testing in this new runtime; changes in behaviour are possible, changes in configuration may also be necessary. The Java 17 migration guide can be found here: https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/semeru-runtime-ce-z/17?topic=guide-m igrating Java 17 is not supported by Liberty for z/OS at this time, and therefore the Java 17 is not supported when used with: - CICS Liberty JVM servers - CICS CMCI JVM servers Java 17 is not supported when used with SAML JVM servers. Java 8 and 11 continue to be supported as they have been prior to this APAR. As part of this APAR, the Eclipse Equinox jar shipped with CICS has been updated to version 4.28. Apache Felix SCR embedded within Liberty, is also shipped within this APAR.
