Outdated Usage

Background background

OU Identifies the situation in which some JCR nodes, such as Sling or AEM components or API OSGi exports, are changed or removed in a non-compatible way. The customer may not be aware of this change before an upgrade. They might be upgraded to a non-compatible version or can be not available at all.

As the old versions are not installed by default, the customer application might not work correctly.

Possible implications and risks implications-and-risks

  • The functionality that depends on any component that uses deprecated components or APIs can be broken and might not resolve correctly after an upgrade.
  • Some features of the customer application or some AEM functionality may not work properly or might not be active after an upgrade.

Possible solutions solutions

  • Short term: Installation of a compatibility package might help.
  • Long term: Adapt customer code to use the newest version of AEM components or APIs.
  • Contact the AEM Support Team for clarifications or to have concerns addressed.
