Deprecation of Business Connector and XML Responder

Business Connector and XML Responder are deprecated in favor of the Core Service.

The Core Service is a Web service interface designed to replace the Business Connector Web service (which combined with XML Responder). Migration to the Core Service entails becoming familiar with its functionality and API and turning your Business Connector calls into Core Service calls.

Core Service documentation
To learn what the Core Service is and how you interact with it, consult the documentation for the Core Service in the documentation portal, located in the section "Implementing Content Manager extension points".
Core Service API reference documentation
For more in-depth information about the API, refer to the Core Service API reference documentation.

Once familiar with the Core Service, migration consists of finding and identifying those places in your custom code where you make calls to the Business Connector, and replacing them with equivalent calls to the Core Service.
