This topic contains information about InfoSphere® MDM components that have been deprecated and removed.
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

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.
