Release 28.0.0.0
End-of-life features
Legacy profiler
The legacy profiler has reached end-of-life and has been removed from the product. When upgrading to this release, any legacy profile expressions, profile sets, and profiler jobs will be converted to ASDD classifiers, profile sets, and profiler jobs, respectively.
Release 27.0.0.0
Removal of the legacy profiler was moved from release 27.0.0.0 to release 28.0.0.0.
Release 26.0.0.0

Aurora MySQL 5.7
Release 24.0.0.0
Deprecated features
Generic connectors
Generic connectors are now deprecated. This connector type will reach End-of-Life and be removed from the product in six months.To determine if a Continuous Compliance Engine contains a generic connector, users should review the engine’s list of database connectors through either the graphical UI or API. The value
Genericin the connector type field indicates the presence of a generic connector.All generic connectors should be replaced by creating an equivalent, built-in connector. For example, a generic connector using an Oracle JDBC URL should be replaced with a new, built-in Oracle connector. If the generic connector set properties in the JDBC URL, those can be set for the built-in connector using the connector properties feature that was introduced in release 6.0.6.0. For more information, see Database Connection Properties.
Legacy profiler
The legacy profiler for files and mainframe datasets is now deprecated. It will reach End-of-Life and be removed from Delphix Continuous Compliance with the release of version 27.0.0.0 (same release as the legacy database profiler). Legacy profiling jobs should be updated to use ASDD profile sets. For more information, see this Delphix Community Post.

Job Wizard UI
The Job Wizard is deprecated as of this release. The Job Wizard offers a simplified job creation experience, but only for a limited set of data platforms.

Release 6.0.10.0
End-of-life features
Ruleset Edit: The Table Suffix, Add Column, Join Table, and List options were deprecated in the 6.0.3.0 release. These options have reached the end of life in the 6.0.10.0 release and have been completely removed from the product. These options are the rarely used feature that can be achieved using the following alternatives:
If you were using the Table Suffix functionality, you can achieve the same results with a series of API calls (/table-metadata and /column-metadata endpoints).
For Add Column, Join Table, and List, you need to convert these settings to the equivalent Custom SQL configuration before upgrading to 6.0.10.0 release.
Release 6.0.9.0
Deprecated features
Delphix has been creating new and improved versions of our existing algorithms, thus, Delphix would like to provide formal notice of deprecation and planned End-of-Life (EoL) for the older algorithm versions. This is to inform our customers that planning should start for their transition to these updated algorithms. For more information and details on the transition, see Delphix Community Post - Legacy Mapping Algorithm.

End-of-life features
Legacy Custom Algorithm (Mapplet). For more information, see Delphix Community Post - Mapplet EoL.
SAP ASE (Sybase) 15.0.3 support

Masking Connectors: Db2 LUW and zOS v9, Db2 LUW and zOS v10, SQL Server 2005, 2008, 2008 R2
Release 6.0.4.0
Deprecated features
FTP, SFTP, and mount upload for XML and Cobol formats FTP/SFTP/Mount-based format import were the original modes for XML and Cobol files, since then, Delphix has added the ability to upload a format file, which is simpler to set up. After the introduction of “upload”, there has been a dramatic shift away from the legacy import modes in favor of the simplicity of “upload”.
Row type feature Originally geared for limiting masking to subsets of rows within a column, this feature was seldom used. The functionality, if desired, can still be replicated via the Custom SQL feature.
Redundant settings for ‘edit table’ under rule sets Table Suffix, Add Column, Join Table, and List - These settings are redundant and can be replicated with the Custom SQL setting.
‘HAVING’ clause from Masking API Deprecating due to low use. This feature, if desired, can be replicated with Custom SQL.
End-of-life features
Job Scheduler As of this release, Delphix has removed the Job Scheduler feature. The introduction of Masking’s REST API several releases ago allowed customers to schedule job executions using their preferred job scheduler. As a result, the integrated scheduler is seldom used.
Release 6.0.3.0
End-of-life features
In this release, the deprecated XML import/export functionality has been removed. If you used the XML import/export feature in previous releases, you'll find the new Sync Environment feature to be a more robust and complete solution with complete API support in addition to being available in the UI.
Release 6.0.0.0
End-of-life features
Native XML CLOB masking: After the upgrade, columns masked as XML CLOBs will have the NULL SL algorithm assigned.
Excel files can still be masked by first converting them to Delphix-supported file types (CSV, etc). Also, XML CLOBs can be masked by extracting their values into a table (for example - using extractValue in Oracle).
DB2 9.1, 9.5, and other 9.x versions of LUW & Z/OS
“Create target” job option: After upgrading jobs using “create target” will be removed.
“Bulk data” job option: After the upgrade, jobs using “bulk data” will be turned into non-bulk data jobs.
Native Microsoft Excel Masking: After the upgrade, MS Excel connectors, rulesets, and jobs will be removed.
