JCS Upgrade Considerations

We only support communication between an r12.5 SP2 Provisioning Server and an r12.5 SP2 Java CS.

If you have a Java CS SDK from a previous release installed and you have made any source file changes or modifications that you want to keep, we recommend that you back up your SDK directory, as the upgrade process overrides any changes you have made.
The SDK code for previous releases compiles against the latest SDK, however we have deprecated some methods and classes. We recommend that you use the alternatives presented in the JavaDoc. In comparison to the previous SDK APIs, there may have been some minor changes in areas not directly used by the SDK example. For example, primarily classes moving into new subpackages, impacting only Java import statements.

Note: For more information about classes put in the new subpackages in the SDK, see the Programming Guide for Java CS and the JCS Javadoc.
