Prerequisite software
You can find information about the software, licensing and web browser requirements for running the IBM DevOps Deploy (Deploy).
Java distributions
The supported software requirements to run the Deploy components (command-line client, agent, relay, and server) are as follows:| Java distribution | Version | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Adoptium OpenJDK | 17 and future fix packs | SQL Server Compatibility Level 120 is not supported. |
| 21 and future fix packs | ||
| 25 and future fix packs | ||
| IBM Semeru Runtime Certified Edition | 17.0.2.0 and future fix packs | You must use a package provided by a dedicated vendor or Linux distribution with an active support contract. |
| 21.0.0 and future fix packs | ||
| 25.0.0 and future fix packs | ||
| IBM Semeru Runtime Open Edition | 17.0.2.0 and future fix packs | |
| 21.0.0 and future fix packs | ||
| 25.0.0 and future fix packs | ||
| Oracle Java SDK/JRE/JDK | 17 and future fix packs | |
| 21 and future fix packs | ||
| 25 and future fix packs |
Note: z/OS packages are not supported for any
Java distribution starting with version 25 and all subsequent fix packs.
Important: You must choose a Java version above the
minimum supported version for your Deploy
installation. This ensures maximum flexibility for future software upgrades, letting
you update Deploy and
Java in separate steps rather than simultaneously. For instance, Deploy 8.2.x
supports Java 17 (minimum), 21, and 25. Installing Java 21 prevents a mandatory
concurrent Java upgrade when moving to the next major Deploy
release.
Licensing requirements
The licensing requirements to run the Deploy components (command-line client, agent, relay, and server) are as follows:| License | Version | Container support |
|---|---|---|
| IBM Common Licensing | 9.0 and future fix packs |
|
Web browsers
The web browser requirements to run the Deploy server are as follows:| Web browser | Version | Container support |
|---|---|---|
| Google Chrome | Latest release and future fix packs |
