Commerce Cloud:
As of September 2025, you can download the latest version of SAP Commerce Cloud and gain access to the latest functionality provided by Java 21 and Spring 6, while running the most secure and high-performance platform.
To remain supported and avoid build failures, SAP advises adopting the Framework Update no later than June 30, 2026, when the final Java 17 release reaches end of support coverage. If that is not possible, ensure the update is completed by August 31, 2026, after which new builds targeting Java 17 will be disallowed. Note: the update removes deprecated extensions and modules and could necessitate code refactoring or configuration updates.
This quarter the Framework Update should have the highest impact on your planning strategy. Carefully read the information below.
Top considerations for the upcoming quarter:
- Framework Update (JDK 21, Spring 6)
- Dependencies of Framework Update
- OAuth replacement - The existing OAuth capability has been rebuilt on current Spring libraries.
- Drools Update - The previous Drools version 8.44.0.Final is incompatible with Spring 6, as the Java EE API has been upgraded to the Jakarta EE API in Spring 6.
- Deprecation of Extensions with the Framework Update
- SAP has removed several extensions from Commerce Cloud and from the Integration Extension Pack due to incompatibilities with the newest versions of Java and the Spring framework. Replacement solutions already exist for each use case and are documented on the SAP Help Portal. These deprecated extensions are highlighted on the Key Technical Updates help page. Use the "Production Version" filter for September 2025 for a complete overview.
