Does Pega 8.3 version support Java1.6.0

Hi, 

I am trying to upgrate my Pega 7.2 to Pega 8.3. But my JAVA version is 1.6.0 is it possible for me to upgrade to Pega 8.3 with same JAVA version. 

Platform support guide mentions that Pega8.3 supports JAVA8 but not mentioned that it does not support Java6 or anything related to JAVA6

Please do help me with this issue, Thanks.

Hi Feby,

 

Pega Infinity 8 versions are supported on Java 8.  We are currently testing a Java 11and plan to support it in a future release. Java 9 is out of support as of March 2018, and Java 10 is out of support as of September 2018, so those versions are not being certified with Pega Infinity. 

 

Oracle stopped provisioning & supporting entire Java 6 versions and Java 7 itself is limited. Therefore, Pega is neither supported nor tested in Java 6 legacy versions.

 

Let me know if that clarifies.

Thanks, Harish that explains a lot.

Have just a query, is compatibility of JAVA version a probable reason for error stated below - 

"com.ibm.etools.ejbdeploy.logging.Logger logErrorStatus  SEVERE: Error generating RMI code: RMIC command failed on project: prbeans with message:  error: Invalid class file format in /opt/websphere-profiles/wstemp/appmgmt/mbean/AppManagement/EarContent/APP-INF/lib/prbootstrap-api.jar(com/pega/pegarules/internal/etier/interfaces/Engine.class). The major.minor version '52.0' is too recent for this tool to understand."

Hi Feby,

 

Glad that it helped you.

 

And yes the error is due to the JDK version compatibility. Here is a support article with the same issue.

7.4 Ref -https://community.pega.com/support/support-articles/unable-install-pega-74-ear-was-85513 

7.2.2 Ref - https://community.pega.com/support/support-articles/deploying-ear-fails-errors-pega-722

 

Let me know if this concludes things for you.
