Deprecated and Removed Features and APIs deprecated-and-removed-features-apis
Adobe constantly evaluates product capabilities, to over time reinvent or replace older features with more modern alternatives to improve overall customer value, always under careful consideration of backward compatibility. Also, as Adobe Experience Manager as a Cloud Service provides a cloud-native deployment model, certain capabilities and features were replaced by cloud-native counterparts.
To communicate the impending removal/replacement of Experience Manager capabilities, the following rules apply:
- Announcement of deprecation comes first. Deprecated capabilities remain available but are not enhanced further.
- Capabilities announced to be deprecated are removed in the subsequent major release, at the earliest. The actual target date for removal is announced.
This process gives customers at least one release cycle to adapt their implementation to a new version or successor of a deprecated capability, before actual removal.
Deprecated Features deprecated-features
This section lists features and capabilities that have been marked as deprecated in Experience Manager as a Cloud Service. Typically, features to be removed in a future release are set to deprecated first, with an alternative provided.
Customers are advised to review if they use the feature/capability in their current deployment, and make plans to change their implementation to use the alternative provided.
Capabilities
Deprecated feature
Replacement
Sites
Experience Fragments properties for Social Media Status.
The feature will be removed soon.
Assets
DAM Asset Update workflow to process ingested images.Asset ingestion uses asset microservices now.
Assets
Upload assets directly to Experience Manager. See deprecated asset upload APIs.
Use Direct binary upload. For technical details, see direct upload APIs.
Assets
Certain workflow steps in
DAM Asset Update workflow are not supported, including calling command-line tools like ImageMagick.Asset microservices provide a replacement for many workflows. For custom processing, use post-processing workflows.
Assets
FFmpeg transcoding of videos.
For FFmpeg thumbnail generation, use Asset microservices. For FFmpeg transcoding, use Dynamic Media.
Foundation
Tree replication UI under the replication agent’s “Distribute” tab (removal after September 30, 2021)
Manage publication or publish content tree workflow approaches
Foundation
Neither the replication agent admin screen’s Distribute tab nor the Replication API can be used to replicate content packages over 10MB. Instead, use either Manage publication or publish content tree workflow

AEM APIs aem-apis
Below is an extensive list of deprecated AEM APIs and their expected removal date. Customers are expected to remove the APIs by the target removal date from their code. Any usage of the API past the removal date will generate errors in the local SDK/Development Environment and the Cloud Manager build process.

OSGI Configuration osgi-configuration
The two lists below reflect the AEM as a Cloud Service OSGi configuration surface, describing what customers can configure.
- A list of OSGi configurations that must not be configured by customer code
- A list of OSGi configurations whose properties may be configured, but must abide by the indicated validation rules. These rules include whether declaration of the property is required, its type, and in some cases, its allowed range of values.
If an OSGI configuration is not listed, it may be configured by customer code.
These rules are validated during the Cloud Manager build process. Additional rules may be added over time and the expected enforcement date is noted in the table. Customers are expected to abide by these rules by the target enforcement date. Not abiding by the rules after the removal date will generate errors in the Cloud Manager build process. Maven projects should include the AEM as a Cloud Service SDK Build Analyzer Maven Plugin to flag OSGI configuration errors during local SDK development.
Additional information about OSGI configuration can be found at this location.
OSGi configurations that cannot be modified.
