With the release of LexEVS 5.1, the the version 4.0 and 4.1 EVSAPIs and Grid Services (LexBIG 4.0 and 4.1 services) will be retired on February 1, 2010. The LexEVSAPI 4.2 was deprecated upon the release of LexEVSAPI 5.0 in July 2009. LexEVSAPI 4.2 (LexBIG 4.2) will be retired later this year. This is tentatively set for April 2010. If you cannot meet this date or you need help, contact Application Support (with a hyperlink for App Support email). If you have not done so already we encourage you to begin planning your migration path to use LexEVSAPI 5.0. Developers bootcamp information is posted. |
