Re: V7R1 to V7R3 upgrade, V7R2 contingecy plan - Java version differences , SSL, SSH

I haven't seen the other thread about SSH, so I'll just chime in here: 7.2
and 7.3 use the exact same SSH (there is no V7R3M0 version of 5733-SC1,
you just use V7R2M0). 7.1 uses the same OpenSSH version, but it is a
different build and installed in a different directory, but that should be
the only difference.

Subject: V7R1 to V7R3 upgrade, V7R2 contingecy plan - Java version
differences , SSL, SSH

We've changed our V7 OS upgrade plans.
Plan is to upgrade from V7R1 to V7R3, with a V7R2 constancy plan.

My primary concerns are default Java version differences between the
releases, SSL, and SSH.
What are the default Java versions for:
V7R1 - 1.6.0 32 bit.
V7R2 -
V7R3 -

We have several Java apps, some the Java version is hardcoded, others
are based on the OS release level.

SSL and SSH will be another thread.

I'm still thinking how to come up with the V7R2 constancy plan, if apps
start failing at V7R3, and 3rd party vendor cannot produce a timely fix.
Did anyone ever downgrade from V7R3 to V7R2?
Is it even an option?

Any thoughts from the group?

Thank You
