7 Desupported Features

Desupported features are no longer available. If a desupported feature has to do with application metadata or APIs, then existing applications may not work as they did previously. Oracle recommends modifying the application to replace the feature.

7.1 Desupported APIs

As of APEX 24.2, the following APIs are desupported:
  • apex_javascript.add_3rd_party_library_file
  • apex_css.add_3rd_party_library_file

7.3 TinyMCE-based Rich Text Editor Desupported

In APEX 24.1, the Rich Text Editor page item based on the TinyMCE library was deprecated.

As of APEX 24.2, TinyMCE is desupported and the Rich Text Editor page item no longer supports the TinyMCE library. The underlying library is now Oracle Rich Text Library (ORTL). Any Rich Text Editor page items still using TinyMCE are auto-migrated to ORTL. Any custom Initialization JavaScript Function code is commented out.
