What is happening

As our Our template database is continuously being updated, we created updated. We create new templates for new service providers that have changed their names, split up their products or merged services. We will now start marking these Data Processing Service templates as deprecated, to ensure more clarity. All our services , update existing templates for instance when company names are changing and are deprecating templates to ensure highest clarity.

This article is about the deprecation of templates, what does it actually mean, how to know if a template is deprecated and what to do if one or more of your customers are using deprecated templates.

A deprecated template will continue to operate normally and there is no immediate action required. However:

Tip

We recommend avoid using deprecated templates, to migrate existing customers to their new templates and provide only the latest templates to new customers as we will stop providing maintenance and support for deprecated templates and won’t update such anymore.

Examples of deprecated service templates:

Two new properties are added, indicating if the specific template is deprecated and what it’s the corresponding new template id is.

If your CMP configuration includes deprecated versions of templates, the endpoint won’t add the correct and latest version. This additional logic was implement to avoid having duplicated Services.

Example:

  • If the configuration already contains Amazon Adsystems (gvWsZJmVT), the endpoint won’t add Amazon advertising (N2spyFPL).

  • If Amazon Adsystems (gvWsZJmVT) was not yet part of the CMP configuration, the endpoint will add Amazon advertising (N2spyFPL).
