Problem conclusion

• This APAR adds support for Java 25 using IBM Semeru Runtime
  Certified Edition for z/OS. A minimum version of 25.0.1.0 is
  required. The CICS documentation will be updated to describe
  considerations for using Java 25.
  
  Java 25 is supported when used with:
   - CICS Liberty and CMCI JVM servers when using Liberty 26.0.0.3
  which is also provided by this APAR
   - CICS OSGi JVM servers
   - CICS Axis2 JVM servers
   - CICS assistants for web services, JSON, and XML
  
  IBM recommends testing in this new runtime; changes in behaviour
  are possible, changes in configuration may also be necessary.
  The Java 25 migration guide can be found here:
  https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/semeru-runtime-ce-z/25.0.0?topic=gui
  de-migrating
  
  Java 25 is not supported when used with SAML JVM servers.
  
  CICS 6.3 continues to support Java 17 and 21.  CICS 5.6-6.2
  continue to support Java 8, 11, 17 and 21.
  
  Additionally CICS TS has been updated to use a Liberty JVM
  server that is based on WebSphere Liberty version 26.0.0.3.
  
  IBM is required to provide you with certain notices and other
  information regarding third party components, included by this
  APAR and obtained as part of IBM WebSphere Liberty 26.0.0.3.
