Java distributions

The supported software requirements to run the Deploy components are as follows:


Java distribution	Version	Deploy component support	Notes
Adoptium OpenJDK	17 and future fix packs	Command-line client Server Agent Relay	SQL Server Compatibility Level 120 is not supported.
	21 and future fix packs
	25 and future fix packs
IBM Semeru Runtime Certified Edition	17.0.2.0 and future fix packs		You must use a package provided by a dedicated vendor or Linux distribution with an active support contract.
	21.0.0 and future fix packs
	25.0.0 and future fix packs
IBM Semeru Runtime Open Edition	17.0.2.0 and future fix packs
	21.0.0 and future fix packs
	25.0.0 and future fix packs
Oracle Java SDK/JRE/JDK	17 and future fix packs
	21 and future fix packs
	25 and future fix packs

Note: z/OS packages are not supported for any Java distribution starting with version 25 and all subsequent fix packs.

Important: You must choose a Java version above the minimum supported version for your Deploy installation. This ensures maximum flexibility for future software upgrades, letting you update Deploy and Java in separate steps rather than simultaneously. For instance, Deploy 8.2.x supports Java 17 (minimum), 21, and 25, installing Java 21 prevents a mandatory concurrent Java upgrade when moving to the next major Deploy release.
