This section summarizes deprecated features in the product offerings comprising WebSphere Process Server version 6.0, which include the WebSphere Business Integration Server Foundation version 5.1 and WebSphere Application Server Enterprise Edition version 5.0. Deprecated features from other WebSphere Application Server version 5.x and 6.x product offerings are described in the documentation for those products. As they become available, links to additional information will be provided to help you migrate from deprecated features.
The following tables summarize what is deprecated, by version and release. Each table reflects the version and release where the deprecation took effect and lists what is being deprecated, such as features, APIs, scripting interfaces, tools, wizards, publicly exposed configuration data, naming identifiers, and constants. Where possible, a recommended migration action is provided.
WebSphere Process Server version 6.0.1 has no deprecated features. |
