As of yet Java 9 is not currently compatible with Yellowfin. We would recommend using Java 8 whilst we address this issue.

For instructions on how to update your Yellowfin Java settings please see this article:

We have logged this with our devs and we can track this with the JIRA ID of; YFN-7926

Hi Sarath,

As of yet theres no ETA to give with regards to the troubles around Java 9, as stated this appears to work for some and not for others... At this stage it is a case of testing, testing and testing to see if anything breaks and prompts us with errors.

I would highly recommend rolling back your Java if you encounter any issues whilst we further test.

Hello Mark,

One observation which I wanted to share. When we did a migration from 6.3 directly to 7.3 we were observing that the underlying tomcat is still remaining as 6.3 and not 7.x. Can this be one such reason why it is working for few and not working for others.

regards,

Sarath

Hi Sarath,

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. This is standard and always works like this when upgrading... As of now we only have one user with Java 9 problems, and this seems to be around Data Transformation.

Our original statement still stands hence our update on where we stand. Apologies to all for any issues that this has caused.
