Test and profiling tools - Java Virtual Machine Profiler Interface (JVMPI)

The JVMPI profiler is now deprecated and the function might be removed in a future release.

Java Virtual Machine Profiler Interface (JVMPI) is the only profiler supported for "pre JRE 1.5" JVM. Java Virtual Machine Tool Interface (JVMTI) profiler is supported for "JRE 1.5 or newer" JVM.

If you work with WebSphere Application Server v6.1, both the JVMPI and Java Virtual Machine Tool Interface (JVMTI) profilers are supported, and so you can begin using the JVMTI profiler by selecting "JRE 1.5 or newer" profiler in the Profile on Server dialog.

In WebSphere Application Server v6.0, only the JVMPI profiler is supported. In this case, you might consider migrating to a newer version of WebSphere Application server that supports the JVMTI profiler.
Deprecated

Support for DB2 Database for Linux, UNIX and Windows v7.2

Support for DB2 Database for Linux, UNIX and Windows v7.2 is now deprecated and the function might be removed in a future release.

Project Interchange function is removed

Projects exported and saved using the Project Interchange option can be successfully imported into a workspace by following these steps:
  1. Click File > Import.
  2. Click to expand General, and select Existing projects into workspace, and then click Next.
  3. In the From .zip file field, enter the full path of the .zip file that contains the shared projects. Click Browse to locate the archive file or project folder in the file system. The Import wizard lists the projects that are in the .zip file.
  4. Select the projects that you want to import.
  5. Click Finish.

To export projects in a way that is equivalent to using Project Interchange:
  1. In the Enterprise Explorer, right-click the project that you want to export, and select Export > Export.
  2. Click to expand General, and select Archive file.]
  3. In the To .zip file field, enter the full path, including the .zip file name, where you want to export the selected projects.
  4. If you want to include derived files generated in the project, select the Include derived files check box.
  5. Click Finish.

See the following topics in the information center:
  • Importing shared projects
  • Exporting projects for sharing

8.0
The wizards that import and export a table's content as XML have been removed. This functionality was available through the following actions:
  • Right click on table and click Data > Extract as XML.
  • Right click on table and click Data > Load from XML.
Deprecated

Support for Windows Server 2003

Support for the following Microsoft Windows operating system is deprecated and might be removed in a future release:
  • Windows Server 2003 - Enterprise and Standard Edition
Deprecated

J2EE Connector (J2C) tools - C-importer

The following function is deprecated and might be removed in a future release:
  • C-importer
Deprecated
8.0
J2EE Connector (J2C) tools - batch importer

The following function is deprecated and might be removed in a future release:
  • Batch importer

The Batch importer allows you to create and access J2C binding classes using a commad-line interface, rather than using the J2C Data Binding wizard.

The replacement tools for this functionality are the J2C Ant scripts. You can save your session data while using the J2C bean wizard or CICS/IMS Data Binding wizard into J2C Ant scripts. Then you can execute the J2C Ant scripts in the command line mode or inside the workspace.
Deprecated
8.0
EJB 2.1 graphical editing and transformations

You can use UML notations to create diagrams of EJB 1.0 and 2.0 implementations. Transform from UML conceptual models to EJB 1.0 or EJB 2.0 code frames. Note that this feature is deprecated; maintenance and support continues, but further enhancements are discontinued.
