Issue/Introduction

It is possible to run JAVA 12.3 against a AE 21 system? This will depend on the release/hotfix in use.

 

Environment

Release : 21.0 Component : AE system  and Java API : 12.3

Cause

The JAVA API program is based on the java classes that come with the uc4.jar library.

Resolution

This configuration only works in the following way:

The JAVA API must be at least in version 12.3.9.

The AE system must be running at least in version 21.0.3 HF2 or higher

The Java API must open a connection to a conventional CP ONLY (not a JCP nor a TLS Gateway!!).
