Has there been any information on the Sunset’s impact on SC? Let’s say you have workflows that use DLLs. Wouldn’t the DLLs no longer be accessible? Is anyone else concerned or addressing this or is it a wait and see type thing? Just curious to see what others are doing (or not doing :smile: )

Epicor: “The contract assemblies are deployed with the power tools client so they will still have access to these assemblies to use with service connect with 26.1. Currently, there is no announced deprecation of the contract assemblies.” Classic Sunset will not impact the use of DLLs in SC as th…

If they are still supporting all of the DLLs to run the classic client and just removing the client itself as a show of force (or stupidity) - it would be a real slap in the face. Again, why is there a need to remove it vs deprecate it, the world will never know.

It is my assumption that Service Connect’s life ends at 2025.2.

From my understanding service connect can continue to use the .NET references using the power tools client in the same way that DMT does. However service connect has worked with Kinetic ReST services for a while now.

I know way back in 2017 service connect was starting to implement REST…

Thanks everyone! Indeed, SC has been able to utilize REST for quite some time, but a lot of companies take the position of “if it’s not broke, don’t fix it”. So I see a lot of workflows using the DLLs still. I am wondering if those companies are headed towards a brick wall or not. I guess Epicor…

I think the writing is on that “brick wall”

I have seen many environments on the latest version of Kinetic still using .NET refs from the client install (hybrid style that Tim mentioned). I guess the answer is, you can continue to use the .NET refs as long as Epicor allows client installs ya?

I believe all the DLLs are included in the Power Tools. I think that supports DMT, Functions, APR, and Service Connect as I recall.
