Symphony Version 25 Summary of Changes

This is a summary of the major changes made in version 25 of Symphony. It is provided so you can quickly identify new and changed features before upgrading from Symphony 24 to Symphony 25.

Symphony is offered on a quarterly release schedule, and our version numbering system reflects this. The current major release of Symphony is v25.2.

Upgrade Considerations

Be sure to back up your metadata store (see Back Up the Metadata Store) before you upgrade.

To ensure services start properly after upgrade in a Linux environment:

1. Verify all of your JVM setting overrides are defined in the /etc/zoomdata directory (not /opt/zoomdata/conf).

2. The .jvm files in /etc/zoomdata/ only contain parameters that are different from default ones, typically Xms/Xms settings, javaagent settings.

If you have copied the entire .jvm file from /opt/zoomdata/conf for placement into /etc/zoomdata, that configuration is not overwritten after upgrade. Properties such as XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC can prevent services from starting on Java 17 runtime.

For more information on configuration setups and overrides, see Configure Memory Settings and Connector Properties and Property Files.

Note: If you are upgrading from an earlier version of Symphony, this may be a breaking change: the introduction of the system attribute User.timeZone may cause a conflict if you used this as a custom attribute. See Upgrade Workflow.
