Table 1. Removals at IBM MQ 9.3.3
Feature Description
Removal: traceControl.jar dynamic tracing utility For Continuous Delivery, the trace control utility is removed from the product at IBM MQ 9.3.3. IBM MQ 9.3.2 is the last Continuous Delivery release that it is delivered with. If dynamic trace is needed to diagnose an issue, IBM Support can guide you through the steps to gather trace as required.
Removal: Operations Dashboard (IBM MQ in Containers) From IBM MQ Operator 2.4.0 the Operations Dashboard is removed. Note that the Operations Dashboard may still be used for existing queue managers that are older than 9.3.3.0-r1 if on an IBM MQ Operator that supports that queue manager container image. For version support for the IBM MQ Operator, see Available IBM MQ versions.
Removal: com.ibm.mq.cfg.useIBMCipherMappings Java System Property For Continuous Delivery, the Java System Property com.ibm.mq.cfg.useIBMCipherMappings, which was previously used for configuring IBM Java or Oracle Java Cipher mappings, is removed from the product at IBM MQ 9.3.3.

From IBM MQ 9.3.3, a Cipher can be defined as either the CipherSpec or CipherSuite name and is handled correctly by IBM MQ. For more information, see TLS CipherSpecs and CipherSuites in IBM MQ classes for JMS and TLS CipherSpecs and CipherSuites in IBM MQ classes for Java.
