Java 21 support for EPM Automate on Linux/Unix

Starting with this update, EPM Automate on Linux and UNIX uses JDK 21, if it is available and specified in JAVA_HOME. At this time, EPM Automate can use JDK17, if JDK 21 is not available. However, support for JDK 17 will be deprecated in the January 2027 update (27.01). By that time, you must upgrade JDK on a Linux/Unix system where EPM Automate is installed to JDK 21. If you have questions, submit a service request to Oracle Support.
