Deprecated and removed features
See which features are no longer developed, and which have been removed since the last major release.
A deprecated feature is still supported, but it is no longer developed and its continued use is not recommended. Typically, a new feature replaces the deprecated feature, which is eventually removed from the product. If you are using a deprecated feature, migrate to the replacement as soon as possible.
The following table lists the deprecated and removed features. Each listed feature is shown with the following information:
- Component: The module that contains the feature, for example, the feature modeling decision services is in the component Decision Center Business console.
- Replacement: When possible, an alternative feature is given for the deprecated feature.
- Deprecated version: Shows the version number of the Operational Decision Manager release in which the feature is first reported as deprecated.
- Removed version: Shows the version number of the Operational Decision Manager release from which the feature is removed. The version is the first release in which the feature is no longer available.
