Does pega '23 support running on Java 17?
According the Platform Support Guide（Platform Support Guide (pega.com)）,there is no mention of Java 17 (Java 8 /11 only) in the JDBC drivers section. Does this mean Pega '23 only supports Java 8 or Java 11, but not Java 17?

Hi @tyamamushi,
Noted in the updated Platform Support Guide, Java 17 can be used with Pega '23.
As for the drivers, we're working on updating the wording in that section. We recommend our clients use each vendor's latest JDBC driver that matches your deployment's Java version. Please ignore the Java 8 / Java 11 notation on the page there as the wording is outdated and misleading (albeit Java 17 being supported in Pega '23 for example). If using Java 17, I suggest using the latest JDBC driver offered by your vendor that supports Java 17. Thanks,

Hi @tyamamushi: I could see version 8.8 and Pega '23 is supporting Java SE 17. Can you check this.
In general PEGA supports what is available in the support doc. It is not recommended to run with a stack which is not available in the support guide.
Thanks.

@ArulDevanThank you for your reply.
I think that there is no mention of Java 17 (Java 8 /11 only) in the JDBC drivers section. Could we run pega without the supported JDBC Driver on Java 17 ?
