Deprecated components
The following InfoSphere MDM components have been deprecated.
Important: Deprecation does not equal removal of the functionality. A deprecation
statement is provided to let you know that we are considering removal or replacement of the
functionality in a future release. This gives you the ability to make more informed decisions and
the opportunity to provide feedback.
If your InfoSphere MDM implementation does not already use any deprecated components, avoid using them going forward. If you do use one of these components, consider an appropriate replacement.
