Environment details:-

DFC - 7.2 jar

Java - 1.7

EMC Composer - 7.2 version

Kindly help to resolve this issue.

This error occurs when you’re trying to run Java code compiled with a higher version of Java than the one installed on your system.
In your case, the class com/documentum/mailapp/operations/inbound/DfSeparateAttachments was compiled with a higher Java version (major version 52.0) than the one you’re using (Java 1.7, which corresponds to major version 51.0).

Hi Daniel,

How can I resolve this issue?

Hicham Bahi

Since your code is triggering BOF classes which were compiled with a higher version of Java, you will at least need to upgrade your Java version to Java 8. It would also be a good idea to upgrade to a DFC version which matches your Documentum Server version.

Hi Hicham,

How to resolve this error? Please suggest.

Hicham Bahi

Like I wrote, your code is triggering code which was compiled for Java 8, e.g. com.documentum.mailapp.operations.inbound.DfSeparateAttachments. Therefore, you must use at least Java 8 JRE to run it.

I am using the java version listed below to write the code.

Environment details:-

DFC - 7.2 jar

Java - 1.7

EMC Composer - 7.2 version

I've already tried to explain it twice but you don't seem to understand. Not sure what more I can do. I'm sure that there is a Java expert in your organisation who can explain this to you.

Here is the better solution:

And how is this a better solution? Your first option is basically what I wrote. The second option (recompiling) is not applicable as the classes are provided by OpenText (BOF SBOs).

In short, you say you are using:
