Tempo for DC Code Deprecation and Removal

In order to minimize negative customer impact and ensure our products are of consistently the highest quality, Tempo has developed a Code Deprecation and Removal Policy to determine when and how we remove outdated code from our Server products. This policy and related communication is specifically intended to ensure that customers have ample time to prepare when we deprecate code that may have been used as a point of integration, such as:

Rest APIs
Exposed Java Services
Database tables
Java events
Javascript events

Generally speaking, the Code Deprecation and Removal Policy encompasses the following:

Tempo will remove code integration points annually in October as part of a major release.
Customers will be notified about the code deprecation at least 3 months in advance before the removal. This will be done via Tempo's Server Release Notes as well as other communication channels (e.g. Tempo Updates, emails and newsletter posts).
Customers will be able to refer to this page to see what integration points will be targeted for the next removal.

Please note that Tempo does not provide support for code once it has been removed.

The table below shows the code integration points which are currently targeted for deprecation and removal:
