DB Connect DBX cannot communicate with Task Server after Splunk DB Connect Add-on upgrade from 3.0.9 to 3.0.11

We just upgraded Splunk DB Connect from 3.9.0 to 3.11.0 on our Splunk Enterprise 9.0.3  Heavy Forwarder and getting warning "DBX cannot connect to task server"

Port 9998 is free , nobody is listening on it . We have updated Java 8 to Java 11 just now.
Rolling DB Connect back to 3.0.9 fixes the issue, DB Connect starts working again.

Will appreciate any advice.
Thank you!
