Deprecated stages

Connectors, which offer better functionality and performance, replace some stages, which were deprecated and removed from the palette. However, you can still use the deprecated stages in jobs and add them back to the palette.

The following stage types were removed from palette for the parallel job canvas:

DB2Z
DB2® UDB API
DB2 UDB Load
DRS
Dynamic RDBMS
Java Client
Java Transformer
Netezza Enterprise
ODBC Enterprise
Oracle 7 Load
Oracle OCI Load
Oracle Enterprise
Teradata API
Teradata Enterprise
Teradata Load
Teradata Multiload
WebSphere® MQ

The following stage type was removed from the palette for the server job canvas:

Dynamic RDBMS

When you create new jobs, consider using connectors instead of the deprecated stages. The following table describes the connector to use in place of the deprecated stages:

Table 1. Stages and corresponding connectors
Deprecated stage	Connector stage
DB2Z DB2 UDB API DB2 UDB Enterprise DB2 UDB Load	DB2 Connector
DRS	DRS Connector
Dynamic RDBMS	DB2 Connector Oracle Connector ODBC Connector
Java Client Java Transformer	Java Integration stage
Netezza Enterprise	Netezza Connector
ODBC Enterprise	ODBC Connector
Oracle 7 Load Oracle OCI Load Oracle Enterprise	Oracle Connector
Teradata API Teradata Enterprise Teradata Load Teradata Multiload	Teradata Connector
WebSphere MQ	WebSphere MQ Connector

To use any of the deprecated stage types in new jobs, drag the stage type from the repository tree to the canvas or to the palette. From the repository tree, expand Stage Types. Under Stage Types, expand Parallel or Serverdepending on the stage that you want to use. Drag the stage type to the job canvas or to the palette.
