Monitoring Deprecated Resources
Sterling B2B Integrator includes a tool that helps you monitor resources that will
be deprecated in future releases. The deprecated resources include services,
adaptors, business processes, and maps. Following are the reasons for the
deprecation:
v An existing resource has been replaced by an improved version of the same
resource.
v An existing resource has become obsolete because of changes in the behavior of
Sterling B2B Integrator.
Note: Resources that have been identified for deprecation will continue to be
supported by Sterling B2B Integrator.
Manage the deprecated resources as follows:
1. Identify the deprecated resources using the Sterling B2B Integrator Resource
Deprecation Report.
2. Remove and replace the deprecated resources.
