5 Abandoned Features  

The following features are abandoned with ILIAS 8 and have been removed from the ILIAS source code:

5.1 Migrations

Data of External Webfeeds is removed by the following migration:

> php setup/cli.php migrate --run externalfeed.ilExternalFeedRemoveMigration

Files of Bibliografic Listb Item to Resource Storage Service

> php setup/cli.php migrate --run bibliographic.ilBibliographicStorageMigration

Migration to convert tables from MyISAM to Innodb service

> php setup/cli.php migrate --run database.ilMysqlMyIsamToInnoDbMigration

The following Migration should have been executed in ILIAS 7, but are still available:

> php setup/cli.php migrate --run resourcestorage.ilStorageHandlerV1Migration

> php setup/cli.php migrate --run ilFileObjectMigrationAgent.ilFileObjectToStorageMigration

Copyright entries are migrated to a format compatible with the KS by the following. Without the migration, existing copyright entries are not shown on info screens, etc. Note that the migration might not be entirely lossless for entries that were edited or created manually, and whose format significantly differs from that of the entries that are supplied with ILIAS. Please carefully check your copyright entries after the migration.

> php setup/cli.php migrate --run md.ilMDCopyrightMigration
