EPM Automate: 26.09 or later client needed from the 26.12 update

From the December 2026 (26.12) update, EPM environments stop accepting EPM Automate clients from 26.08 or earlier and accept only the new .epw password file format.

Applies to every Cloud EPM business process that is scripted with EPM Automate.

Clients bundled with 26.08 or earlier will not work with 26.12 environments.
Only .epw files generated by EPM Automate 26.09 or later are accepted.
Exception: an .epw used with EPM Agent stays on the old format until EPM Agent is on 26.10.
Separately, JDK 17 for EPM Automate on Linux/UNIX is deprecated in 27.01; plan for JDK 21.

What to do: upgrade EPM Automate on every server and laptop, re-run the encrypt command, and test your scheduled scripts before 26.12 reaches production.
