Issue/Introduction

We are running Clarity PPM. Please advise what is the latest version of Java which we can safely used for the Clarity server. 

Environment

Clarity any supported release.

Resolution

  • The Clarity PPM (and all CA Products) contain Release Notes with all known compatibilities. To find out the highest certified version of a component, please check the Release Notes.
  • Check both the currently installed version of Clarity, and the highest Java runtime version that is supported for the latest Clarity release. It would be okay to upgrade the Java runtime to the higher patch level (minor releases). 

    Example:
  • For a currently installed Clarity 15.9.3 On-Premise site Release Notes (On Premise)
  • The relevant section of the Release notes reads Java Runtime supported: AdoptOpenJDK 11.0.9.1+1 or higher patch level
  • For the highest clarity available (at the time of writing this article) is CA PPM 16.0.3 On-Premise - Release Notes (On premise)
  • The relevant section of the Release notes reads Java Runtime supported: AdoptOpenJDK 11.0.15+10 or higher patch level

NOTE: It is always recommended to try out new components and upgrades on a test environment first. NOT live on production.
