How to deploy a self-managed Docker SDC with Java 17

Objective

You need to deploy a Data Collector Docker engine that uses Java 17 instead of Java 8.

Steps

To accomplish this we will have to:

  1. Edit the Installation script that StreamSets Platform provides us when creating the deployment. This script will look like this:

  1. Copy it, and we will have to change the docker image name, so it will grab our SDC images that come with Java 17. To do this, add the prefix "JDK17_" in front of the version number at the end of the script, so in this case "streamsets/datacollector:JDK17_5.6.0".Now you can run the edited installation script on your machine and it will grab the correct Java 17 SDC image.

  2. Be mindful that due to third-party requirements, some Data Collector functionality is dependent on the Java version that you use, The following table describes the features available with different Java versions:
