This page provides information about features and functions that are deprecated or have been removed.
"Alternative features" are features or products that United Planet no longer provides
support for but have a fully functional replacement.
Deprecated features are still included in Intrexx 19.03 for the sake of backwards compatibility.

2. Definitions
Terms like "deprecated" can be understood in different ways.
To ensure that the terminology in this document is understood correctly, we will
define the respective term at the start of each section.
3. Alternative features
Alternative features have a fully functional replacement. This usually does not require any extra effort
on your part. In some cases, the contact person or provider may change.
A replaced feature will be removed from the product after 12 months at the latest.
3.1. M-Files Connector
United Planet has handed the support for the M-Files Connector to the partner Convergent.
If you are using the connector, United Planet will get in contact with you. You contact
person will change in this case.
4. Deprecated features
Deprecated features will no longer continue to be developed.
Please do not start using these features in your application development from now on if
you have not used them before. Deprecated features will continue to be supported until their
end of life if they were used in older versions of Intrexx and are therefore needed
for the sake of backwards compatibility.
Please look at alternatives if you are using one of the features listed below.
The corresponding features will usually be removed 12 months later at the earliest.
4.1. MySQL
MySQL will continue to be supported but is seen as deprecated.
The cost of maintaining and supporting MySQL is high.
There are significant outgoings to support many different and potentially incompatible databases.
If you are using MySQL, please get information about porting to a different database.
We recommend using PostgreSQL for a basic installation.
Deprecated since: 18.03.2020
End of life: Intrexx Version 21.03
4.2. Gallery A and B
The A and B galleries
are deprecated but will continue to be supported.
Both types are based on old technologies. These will be replaced by a new gallery with new technology.
From Version 20.03 onwards, customers should use the new gallery type when creating a new gallery. Old galleries
will be patched to the new gallery after the end of life.
Deprecated since: 18.03.2020

4.4. Abacus Connector

Due to changes made to the product, high outgoings would be required to guarantee its functionality.
Please look into alternative interfaces (e.g. JDBC).
