Hi! We have an s390x running SLES 12 sp4. It currently has Java 8, but we need Java 17 for an application. This [IBM Semeru page](https://developer.ibm.com/languages/java/semeru-runtimes/downloads/) lists OpenJDK 17 as available for Linux on the s390x. Do you think it could be installed and run successfully on such a dated Linux, or do we need to upgrade to SLES 15 first? Is there a different Java 17 available for the s390x running SLES 12 sp4 that would be better? Thanks so much for your experienced advice! ---

@jordanedl Hi and welcome to the Forum 😄 You can use SUSE Customer Center to search for packages 😉 [https://myaccount.suse.com/app/UserHome](https://myaccount.suse.com/app/UserHome) Looks like you need to be at SLE 15 SP4 s390x to get Java 17… ---
