See [MID Server](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=mid-server-landing&version=australia&pubname=australia-servicenow-platform&ft:locale=en-US) for more information.{#mid-server-rn__mid-server-rn-highlights-2}

## Important information for upgrading MID Server to Australia {#mid-server-rn__mid-server-rn-upgrade-info}

For the latest MID Server system requirements, see [MID Server system requirements](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=r_MIDServerSystemRequirements&version=australia&pubname=australia-servicenow-platform&ft:locale=en-US). The minimum JRE version supported is 17.0.10 and the recommended version is 21.0.7.{#mid-server-rn__mid-server-rn-upgrade-info-1}  
If you have installed your own JRE, the upgrade process takes the following actions to verify that the MID Server uses a supported JRE:

* If a MID Server is using an unsupported version of the JRE when it upgrades, the upgrade process displays a warning message with the minimum and recommended JRE version.
* If a supported JRE is running on the MID Server host, the upgraded MID Server uses that version.
{#mid-server-rn__ul_xjn_v1p_hlb}

All MID Server host machines require access to the download site at install.service-now.com to enable auto-upgrades. For additional details, read how the system manages [MID Server upgrades](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=c_UpgradeAndTestMIDServer&version=australia&pubname=australia-servicenow-platform&ft:locale=en-US).{#mid-server-rn__mid-server-rn-upgrade-info-3}

Only one Windows
MID Server service is permitted according to the executable path. Upgraded Windows
MID Servers that have multiple services pointing to the same installation folder can't start. See [MID Server fails to start](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=mid-startup-fails&version=australia&pubname=australia-servicenow-platform&ft:locale=en-US) for more information.{#mid-server-rn__mid-server-rn-upgrade-info-4}  
For more information about MID Server upgrades, see the following topics:

* [MID Server pre-upgrade check](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=c_UpgradeAndTestMIDServer&version=australia&pubname=australia-servicenow-platform&ft:locale=en-US): Describes how the AutoUpgrade monitor tests the ability of the MID Server to upgrade on your system before the actual upgrade.
* [Upgrade the MID Server manually](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=c_UpgradeAndTestMIDServer&version=australia&pubname=australia-servicenow-platform&ft:locale=en-US): Describes how to upgrade your MID Servers manually.

## Changed in this release {#mid-server-rn__mid-server-rn-changed-features}

[MID Server supports PowerShell 7 for Discovery](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=powershell-remoting&version=australia&pubname=australia-it-operations-management&ft:locale=en-US)
:   MID Server now supports PowerShell 7, while maintaining backward compatibility with PowerShell 5.1. This update enhances security, accelerates onboarding, and reduces deployment blockers through improved
    runtime detection and comprehensive test coverage.

[Configure the MID Server for CyberArk CCP](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=t_ConfigureTheMIDServerForCyberArkCCP&version=australia&pubname=australia-platform-security&ft:locale=en-US)

:   MID Server's CyberArk integration adds a REST-based CCP option alongside the existing AIM SDK method, providing flexible, interchangeable integration choices. This additional option can reduce dependency
    overhead and enables you to choose between the AIM SDK and REST-based approaches according to your requirements.

[Smart Workload Manager in clusters](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=t_ConfigureAMIDServerCluster&version=australia&pubname=australia-servicenow-platform&ft:locale=en-US)

:   MID Servers in a cluster now assign jobs based on the true load, using a variety of criteria. The smart workload manager continuously evaluates the queue size, execution time, CPU usage, and buffer
    size. The manager then assigns tasks to ensure that no server is overloaded.

[MID Server is bundled with Java Runtime Environment 21](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=r_MIDServerSystemRequirements&version=australia&pubname=australia-servicenow-platform&ft:locale=en-US)

:   MID Server comes bundled with Java Runtime Environment version 21.0.7 and requires a minimum JRE version 17.0.10. The installer automatically configures Java 21.0.7 to run in your environment. If you have
    installed your own JRE, see the Important information for upgrading MID Server to Australia section to ensure your JRE is compatible.
