Deprecated functionality in Content Delivery
This section explains which software components in Content Delivery are deprecated in SDL Tridion 2013 SP1 in favor of a newer, improved version.
- Deprecation of Search Filter API
As of the 2011 release, SDL Tridion uses the Content Broker Query API for search filtering functionality . Before 2011, Content Delivery offered a separate API for this in Tridion.ContentDelivery.DynamicContent.Filters. - Deprecation of old storage framework
As of the 2011 release, SDL Tridion release replaces the Content Broker configuration file, cd_broker_config.xml, with a Storage Layer configuration file, cd_storage_conf.xml, which configures how and where Content Delivery stores items. This also affects custom storage home classes. - Deprecation of ASP API and ASP.NET API used in 5.3 SP1 and earlier
The ASP API and the ASP.NET API delivered with releases up to and including SDL Tridion R5 5.3 SP1 are deprecated in favor of the ASP.NET API introduced in SDL Tridion 2009. Inline code is also deprecated in favor of .NET Server Controls. - Deprecated Senders and Receivers
In SDL Tridion 2011 Senders have a new Java class and Receivers are no longer used. SDL recommends to update your Transport Service configuration file on the Content Manager. Also, if you use custom Senders and Receivers, you must update your code. - Deprecated metadata storage on the file system
Metadata stored on the local file system is deprecated as of SDL Tridion 2011 SP1 in favor of storage of metadata in the database. Storing metadata in a database requires database licences. - Deprecation of UGC SpamFilter
TheSpamFilterinterface, which was a part of User-Generated Content in SDL Tridion 2011 SP1, has been deprecated in favor of theValidatorinterface.
