Hi @Shamini S , welcome to the Atlassian Community!

When upgrading, you definitively need to check the prerequisites to the underlying programs such as - you guessed it - Java. All software release notes come with upgrade notes

Upgrade notes for 10.0.x describe specifically something about Breaking changes to the Java API and how to deal with that. 

Kind regards,

Dick
