ISC VAs updated to JDK 17 (from JDK11)

[sauvee (Edwin Sauve)]

As I noticed this morning, apparently the VAs are going to be updated to JDK version 17. Sandbox has already been updated as of 15th of September. Production is slated for October 6th.

We will start testing / evaluating our rules and such, to ensure we don’t have any issues.

However I do think it is very important to understand why this wasn’t shared earlier? Sandbox already updated? Perhaps it was a good idea to raise that this is going to happen a few months in advance?

Can the deadline of October 6th be pushed backwards? Would pinning the CCG version help?

Perhaps someone from SailPoint can pitch in here.

I searched all over the Dev and Compass communities to see whether I missed an announcement, but couldn’t find anything. Some of our operations are using a lot of BeanShell, so I share the concern regarding the Oct. 6 date with so little notice.

Agreed with the above. I haven’t seen a proper timely announcement made by SailPoint either. 6 hours after this post of @sauvee, the announcement was made by @dinesh_mishra here: New Capability: JDK 17 is now supported in the Cloud Connector Gateway

Unfortunately there is a pattern of too late announcements preventing us to properly plan and test changes.

Would it be possible to initiate a conversation in this thread or in the thread linked below on the concerns raised? I don’t like this radio silence on this casually mentioned but not so trivial pending upgrade.
