Hi @kalyan6787

The Java upgrade path should be followed in this way; you can refer the installation document for the supported versions.

When you migrate to IIQ 8.4, use JDK 11. Then, when you migrate to IIQ 8.5, use JDK 17.

For new feature and details, please refer to the release notes from community.sailpoint.com

IdentityIQ 8.5 New Features

  1. Microsoft Teams Integration: Access Request Approvals – key feature: With this enhancement to IdentityIQ’s Microsoft Teams integration, approvers now have a simple way to manage access request approvals that is seamlessly integrated with Microsoft Teams, enabling them to make decisions on the go. Here are few of the actions users can take:
    Accept, Deny, Forward, Assign
    View work item details
    View policy violations

  2. GenAI Descriptions for Entitlements Managing entitlement descriptions at scale can be overwhelming—some IdentityIQ customers have catalogs with over a million entitlements. To ease this burden, IdentityIQ 8.5 introduces a powerful new GenAI-driven feature that automatically suggests entitlement descriptions using large language models. This enhancement helps keep your catalog accurate and up-to-date with minimal effort, saving time and improving clarity across your identity landscape.

  3. Restrict View of Sensitive Identity Attributes – key feature: As organizations store more sensitive personal data in IdentityIQ, protecting that information is more important than ever. With IdentityIQ 8.5, we’re introducing the ability to restrict visibility of sensitive identity attributes—ensuring that only users with a legitimate purpose can access certain personal or confidential fields. Whether it’s PII or other sensitive identity data, this feature allows you to define exactly who can see what, with flexible configuration options.

This enhancement helps organizations enforce data privacy while still empowering users to do their jobs effectively. Affected areas include Identity Warehouse, Manage Identity, Access Reviews, and Work Items.

  1. UX/UI Modernization and Improvements
