OpenSDK for Pega Platform
Hi All,
We are planning to use OpenSDK in place of Java for our Pega Platform (On-prem as well as Cloud Foundry). Needed to know the procedure for the same. Is there any complexity in the transition. Also, could you please point me to some links on OpenSDK for Pega being supported?
Thanks.

What is the PRPC version being used at your end? Any specific reason for going with openSDK?
OpenJDK is supported though, refer :

Hi Arvind,
Thanks for your reply. The PRPC version we are using is Pega 7.2.2
We are discontinuing Oracle Java version due to licensing decisions.
We will now work on getting Pega work with OpenJDK.
I will go through the link you mentioned.
Thanks.

Hi Arvind,
I read the document that you provided and it clearly says that OpenJDK 1.7 is supported on Pega 7.2.2
Could you please share some links or articles explaining how do we go about it?
It would be really helpful.
Thanks.

Hi Rashi,
Though, Pega does not have such documented as its third party.
However, you can refer following web forum for this:
Post it, you need to thoroughly test PRPC on openJDK, including external services to see if all are working fine.

Quick question here, does this article talk about OpenJDK installation on Windows? Our main aim is to replace Oracle Java with OpenJDK for On-Premise Pega Platform.

Hi,
Thanks a lot for all the help. I am unable to find a downloadable file for OpenJDK 1.7 for Windows. Is there any way you could point me to it?
Thanks.

Hi Arvind,
We installed openJDK 1.7 as it is compatible with Pega 7.2.2 and when we started the tomcat service we are seeing the following error:
java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: com/microsoft/sqlserver/jdbc/SQLServerDriver : Unsupported major.minor version 52.0
Could you please let us know the solution to this? Or send a link to download a compatible SQLServerDriver version (if that is the problem)?
Thanks.

Hi Rashi,
You should visit Microsoft site to check openJDK and SQLServer version compatibility, one such URL is:
