Deprecation Announcements and End of Life (EOL) scheduling for Oracle B2C Service features/modules
Resolution:
Important update, CCOM v1.2 and v1.3 are no longer deprecated. Customers should transition to CCOM v1.4 when they have a business justification to utilize the enhanced capabilities.
Please see below for common Q&A about feature deprecation and End of Life (EOL) scheduling.
What is deprecation?
Oracle B2C Service defines ‘deprecation’ as a status where a technology or feature is being phased out of the product and its use is discouraged, often to allow an improved and more secure technology or feature to take its place. The deprecation period, typically 1-2 years, is the period from announced deprecation to End of Life (EOL) of the feature.
What is End of Life (EOL)?
End of Life (EOL) is defined in the Oracle Cloud Hosting and Delivery Policies.
Why do we deprecate and EOL features?
At Oracle our top priority is security. Most of our resources to find, fix, and patch issues go into our latest and greatest feature set – as most of our customers stay current. It is in the best interest of our customers and their customers to stay up to date on the latest technology.
What happens during deprecation?
During the deprecation period, the deprecated technology/feature is not available for purchase or new implementations. The deprecated item is not enhanced or changed during the period; support and documentation may be limited. One or more replacement technologies/features are typically made available at the start of or during the deprecation period. The deprecation period is the best opportunity for sites to migrate from the deprecated functionality to new or replacement functionality.
How do I know if a deprecation is relevant to my site?
Site administrators should review relevant notices for all in-process and completed deprecations based upon the current release of their production site. Information about migration and replacement technology/feature is provided in a related answer where available. Additional information about migration is available in the Update Guides. These are available in the Documentation Overview answers for each version.
