Hi,
There is a requirement from a customer to upgrade their on-prem IBM ACE12 to ACE13 and as part of this the customer is looking for a migration approach or strategy for handling the WS-Security and Global cache which is enabled for the integration servers using java 8. Below is the migration plan and some queries associated with it.
- Since java 8 is supported in IBM ACE 13, the customer is planning to do the upgrade and change the flows to use java 8 using the following command 'ibmint specify jre command'. However, at some point IBM will be announcing be withdrawing the support for java 8, so customer is planning to rewrite these integration servers to use java 17 instead after the migration is done.
- As per the below ibm statement of direction for java support, the above features are supported in ACE 13 with java 8. can you please confirm if these features are supported with java 17 as we do not have a clear understanding. - https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/announcements/statement-direction-app-connect-enterprise-clarification-java-support
- Since global cache is enabled in ACE 12, Is it mandatory to configure the new embedded global cache in ACE 13?
- Also, if ACE 13 does not support these features with java 17, could you please suggest some alternate solution for ws-security?
Thanks
Kiran Kumar
