Deprecated and removed features of IBM Business Automation Workflow versions V18.0.0.1 to V19.0.0.3.

Deprecated features

If a feature is listed as deprecated, or certain system requirements are indicated as deprecated on the Software Product Compatibility Reports website, IBM might remove this capability or support in a subsequent release of the product to focus on follow-on technologies or the strategic feature that is listed under Action. Typically, a feature is not deprecated unless an equivalent alternative is provided or available. A feature is not removed for at least two releases after the deprecation of the feature is declared. In rare cases, it might be necessary to remove features sooner; such cases are indicated in the descriptions of these removed features.

The following features from previous releases are deprecated in IBM Business Automation Workflow versions V18.0.0.1 to V19.0.0.3.

Table 1. Deprecated features for Business Automation Workflow versions V18.0.0.1 to V19.0.0.3.

Deprecated features	Description	Action
Heritage Human Services	Use of Heritage Human Services is deprecated in Business Automation Workflow V18.0.0.1.	Use client-side human services, which are described in Modeling client-side human services.
Business Space	Use of Business Space is deprecated in Business Automation Workflow V18.0.0.2.
Embedded JavaScript	Use of embedded JavaScript in so-called "pointy hash" delimiters (<# #> and <#= #>) to set the WSDL URL at runtime is deprecated in Business Automation Workflow V19.0.0.1.	See the WSDL URL section in Add a web service server.
REST discovery of header parameter Content-Type, Accept, and Authorization	Discovering the REST service header parameters Content-Type, Accept, and Authorization is deprecated in Business Automation Workflow V19.0.0.2 because they will be ignored in OpenAPI V3.	Discovery from the OpenAPI V2 specification remains the same, therefore no action is required. For OpenAPI V3 discovery, these parameters are ignored and are not discovered. For Authorization, use the external service REST binding, or use the JavaScript API to set the username and password.
Certain integration capabilities in the System Data Toolkit	Use of the following integration capabilities in the System Data Toolkit is deprecated in Business Automation Workflow V19.0.0.2: HTTP integration SOAP integration File integration Mail integration	For HTTP integration and SOAP integration, you can use the external services in IBM Process Designer for REST or web services. For all of these integration capabilities, you can use Advanced Integration services exposed in IBM Integration Designer.
Usage of Application Integration Suite (AIS) for short-running/synchronous Service Component Architecture (SCA) services	Use of IBM Application Integration Suite for short-running/synchronous Service Component Architecture services is deprecated in Business Automation Workflow V19.0.0.2.	Use the external Web Service binding instead.
Configuration flag use-jaxws = false	Use of the configuration flag use-jaxws = false is deprecated in Business Automation Workflow V19.0.0.2.	In your configuration files, for example 100Custom.xml, remove the <use-jaxws> configuration flag or set it to true to leverage the more modern web services implementation.
Invoking Java from JavaScript	Using the LiveConnect API to invoke a Java from JavaScript is deprecated in Business Automation Workflow V19.0.0.3.	Create a Java implementation then use an External Service with Java binding to integrate and invoke the Java code from Business Automation Workflow by using REST. For more information, see Invoking a Java service.
Web Service (inbound) configuration flag enable-advanced-parameter-properties-for-wsdl	Using the Web Service (inbound) configuration flag enable-advanced-parameter-properties-for-wsdl value false is deprecated in Business Automation Workflow V19.0.0.3.	Use the default value, true.
External implementation service	Using external implementations for system tasks in processes is deprecated in Business Automation Workflow V19.0.0.3.	Use external implementations for user tasks in processes.
ECM Adapter	Use of the WebSphere Adapter for Enterprise Content Management is deprecated in Business Automation Workflow V19.0.0.3.	Use the IBM FileNet® Content Manager via CMIS instead. For more information, see Configuring the CMIS Web Service client.
Lotus Domino Adapter	Use of the Lotus Domino Adapter is deprecated in Business Automation Workflow V19.0.0.3.	If you used the Lotus Domino Adapter for eMail, use the WebSphere Adapter for Email instead.
iSeries Adapter	Use of the iSeries Adapter is deprecated in Business Automation Workflow V19.0.0.3.	Use standard bindings like JMS and Web Service instead.
