Pega 7.1.1 supports Java 6 and Java 7 SDKs only. Ensure that the JDBC driver you are using supports those versions of Java. See your database installation or upgrade documentation for additional information.
Database | Java 6 | Java 7 |
---|---|---|
Oracle | ojdbc6.jar | ojdbc7.jar |
MSQL | sqljdbc4.jar | sqljdbc4.jar |
DB2 LUW | db2jcc4.jar | db2jcc4.jar |
DB2 z/OS* | db2jcc4.jar or jdb2jcc.jar** | db2jcc4.jar |
PostgreSQL | postgresql-9.1-903.jdbc4.jar*** | postgresql-9.1-903.jdbc4.jar |
* JDBC drivers are only available from the DB2 for z/OS product. Additionally, you need db2jcc_license_cisuz.jar in the same directory as db2jcc4.jar.

*** This .jar file is required for PostgreSQL version 9.1.x.
Improved search indexing performance
Valid from Pega Version 8.2
Search indexing now uses a queue processor to improve indexing performance. Indexing can automatically restart if the database goes down temporarily. This saves time and manual action. As a result of using the queue processor for indexing, the following changes have been made to the Search Landing page.
- You cannot cancel indexing from the Search landing page. Cancel indexing by stopping the queue processor from the Data flow landing page.
- The progress message is not shown. View progress on the Queue Processor landing page.
- Queue processor information has been added.
For more information, see Stopping or pausing search reindexing.
More visibility of your production level
Valid from Pega Version 8.2
You can now see the production level of your environment in a new gadget that is available in all Pega Platform™ workspaces. To ensure that you immediately recognize your current environment, you can give it a unique name that is displayed when you click the gadget. In addition to specifying your production level and environment name on the System form in Dev Studio, you can now specify those values on the page in Admin Studio.
For more information on Admin Studio, see Modifying your environment name and production level.
