This page contains an overview of Delft-FEWS modules and displays flagged as end of life functionality. Most of these modules and displays are developed in the early stages of Delft-FEWS developments and replaced by new modules and Displays with similar functionality. Some modules are flagged as end of life because these are not used anymore by any customer; these will therefore not be replaced with a new module or display. The list of modules and displays that are end of life are listed below together with the process on how these modules and displays can be converted to the new modules. The selected end of life modules and displays will be removed from Delft-FEWS release 2021.01, 2021.02 and 2021.03. In the 2021.01 Delft-FEWS release there is functionality added that can be used to check if your Delft-FEWS application uses end of life functionality.

How to assess if your configuration contains end of life configuration
In the Delft-FEWS 2021.01 version a debug option is added that can be used to check your configuration for modules and displays that are on the end of life list. This debug option can be started as follows:
- Start your Delft-FEWS Stand Alone (or operator Client) application
- Open the Maps display
- Press F12 to start the Debug options
- Select "T export"
- Select "log obsolete modules and explorer plugins"
The configuration will be scanned and the log.txt file will log the modules and displays that are end of life. The logs panel will also show INFO messages with end of live configuration. The logging can show information like the list below.
Start logging obsolete modules and workflow plugins
explorerTask What-if Scenario is obsolete and not supported anymore in Fews version 2023.01
DisplayDescriptors is obsolete and not supported anymore
DisplayInstanceDescriptors is obsolete and not supported anymore
ModuleDescriptors is obsolete and not supported anymore
Module RollingBarrel is obsolete and not supported anymore
End logging obsolete modules and workflow plugins
When the configuration is scanned, remove the modules that ar eend of live from your configuration. Make sure to have all configuration files converted to the new modules before using the Delft-FEWS release in the end of life tables above.
If you have a Support & Maintenance contract with Deltares and want Deltares to help you with updating your configuration, please contact the Delft-FEWS support team.
