Deprecated

A new version of this enterprise service that covers the same or enhanced functionality is available in the same software component, or in a different software component for the same product. The new version is available when the release status of the enterprise service is set to “Deprecated” in the Enterprise Services Repository (ESR).

The status of an “original” service can only be changed to “Deprecated" within a new Enhancement Package, Support Package (in the case of corrections), or product version. The deprecated enterprise service is still available and supported in the new Enhancement Package, Support Package, or product version. The functionality of the deprecated enterprise service corresponds to the functionality of the same enterprise service in the previous version. After a minimum of one full main release cycle, the ESR status of the enterprise service can be changed to „Revoked“. This means that the "outdated" and the "new" service versions are available in parallel for at least one full main release.

The link to the successor service is provided in the service documentation and in a Composite SAP Note. Any adjustments or potential migration efforts are described in the Composite SAP Note.
