IBM® Business Process Manager extends capabilities found in previous versions of IBM Integration Developer, WebSphere® Lombardi Edition, IBM Business Process Manager, WebSphere Process Server, WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus, and other business process management products. Some features of those products are deprecated and removed in IBM Business Process Manager V8.0.1.
The following items are deprecated in IBM Business Process Manager 8.0.1 from previous releases.
| Deprecated functions | Description | Action |
|---|---|---|
| Business Process Choreographer JMS API | Business Process Choreographer is an enterprise workflow engine that supports both BPEL processes and human tasks in a WebSphere® Application Server environment. The Business Process Choreographer JMS API is deprecated in IBM Business Process Manager V8.0.1. | To develop JMS-based client applications, use the Business Process Choreographer web services API with the SOAP/JMS transport protocol. For more information, see Business Process Choreographer web services API. |
| Selectors | Selector components provide a single interface to a service that might change results based on certain criteria. The selector component includes an interface and a selector table. This functionality is deprecated in IBM Business Process Manager V8.0.1. | Use a mediation flow component. For more information, see Converting interface map components to mediation flows. |
| Interface maps | An interface map sets up a correspondence between the operations and the parameters of the interfaces in your process. Interface maps are deprecated in IBM Business Process Manager V8.0.1. | An interface map performs mapping operations between two
interfaces when the operation on the originating interface has different
names and different parameters than the operation on the destination
interface. You can build a mediation flow that does the same thing. Use a mediation flow component. You can also choose to convert your interface map to a mediation flow component. For more information, see Converting interface map components to mediation flows. |
| IBM Forms in IBM Integration Designer | The generation of IBM Forms is deprecated in IBM Integration Designer for IBM Business Process Manager V8.0.1. | IBM Integration Designer
wizards were used to generate an initial human task user interface
for IBM Forms. Use one of the
following methods to replace this initial generated human task user
interface.
See Defining user interfaces for a human task and Using IBM Forms Server API and IBM Forms Viewer with IBM Business Process Manager for more information. |
| Send Alert in IBM Process Designer | Send Alert is one of the tools and components available from the palette when building services in IBM Process Designer. When developing a service diagram in IBM Process Designer, you could use Send Alert to send task-related alerts to IBM Process Portal. Send Alert is deprecated in IBM Business Process Manager V8.0.1. | Remove Send Alert modeling elements from process models. |
