Deprecated features
This topic summarizes features that were available in previous versions of IBM WebSphere Portal but are no longer available in this version.
As they become available, links to additional information will be provided to help you migrate away from deprecated features.
- IBM Portlet API
- The IBM Portlet API is being deprecated for this version but is still supported. No new functionality will be added and IBM recommends that you use the Standard Portlet API.
- Collaborative Portlets
- The following collaboration portlets are deprecated:
- Team Workplaces (launch portlet)
- Lotus Instant Messaging Connect (launch portlet)
Instead of using these launch portlets, we can add universal resource locaters (URLs) to the site's Bookmarks portlet to open a IBM Lotus QuickPlace or the Lotus Sametime Center, if you have Lotus QuickPlace and Lotus Sametime servers in the environment. Use a URL like this for Sametime:
http://your_sametime_servername.your_domain_name.com/stcenter.nsfUse a URL like this for Lotus QuickPlace :http://www.your_site.com/home.nsf/welcome/quickplaceThe collaboration file deppwelcome.war is also deprecated. The information from this file is now included in an information portlet.
- IWWCM ™
- DreamWeaver plugins to enable users to create links to Web Content Management items have been removed. Users should now use the linking feature in a rich text element.
- The Web Content Management search feature is no longer supported. WebSphere Portal search should be used instead.
- The use of "connect tags" to aggregate data from databases or aggregate content from Web pages is no longer supported. Alternate methods to aggregate data and Web content are documented in the information center.
