3.3.5: Migrating to supported user profile APIs

Migrating from Version 3.x

Changes to code are not required.

Migrating from Version 2.0x

The user profile implementation in versions 3.x and later differs significantly from that in Version 2.0, as follows:

Profile management functions
The user profile management functions are separated from the data elements (the elements mapped to the columns in the database schema).

The management functions in the com.ibm.websphere.userprofile.UserProfile class are deprecated and disabled. The class is to be used solely for getting and setting data for individual instances of users.

Extending the base implementation
You can now extend the base user profile implementation to include custom database columns and import legacy databases. See the Related information for instructions.
