Hi Yeshua, Luis,
I do appreciate the detailed reply from Luis, I especially like the comprehensive link collection, although I see some of the aspects differently:
wrt 1. HANA DB vs other DBs, the advantages that Luis lists above rather applies to PO vs PI dual stack, i.e., this applies to PO on any DB, except for OPInt which is supported on HANA DB only. Although the performance on a PO system is much better in terms of throughput and response times when comparing with a PI dual stack, there is no difference between PO on HANA and any other DB, reason is that the PO use case is rather an OLTP and not OLAP, each message needs to be persisted and hence PO does not really benefit from the in-memory and column based storage. The only advantage I see is DB consolidation, i.e., in case that you run your whole landscape on HANA DB, then this could also include PO.
wrt 2, to add to Luis' reply, we will support any DB according to the PAM, there are no plans to revoke support for other DBs, this wouldn't be possible for legal reasons anyway, so you can stay on your DB, see https://apps.support.sap.com/sap/support/pam?hash=pvnr%3D73554900100900000414%26pt%3Dg%257Cd
wrt 4, to add to Luis' reply, it's correct that Oracle has deprecated Java Webstart from Java 11 on, but it's still supported in Java 8, and Java 8 support has been extended until 2030, so you can still use the Swing clients until end of maintenance of PO 7.5. However, I like to stress that there are no new development investments done for the Swing clients any more, new features will only go into the NWDS perspectives. Btw, there is also an alternative to Oracle's JVM, see https://launchpad.support.sap.com/#/notes/2677849.
