Until now, when executing a staging import, users could choose, prior to the import, to delete all existing information in the destination environment.
This option has been deprecated due to its low usage (verified directly with clients and partners) and the high risk it entails, as deletion affects not only the elements already in the import but also their related entities. This could lead to the loss of necessary information or the possibility of some entities becoming disconnected from the rest, making both the import and error resolution extremely complicated due to the lack of a list of affected elements. There will not be a substitution, so the alternative will be to delete the elements manually, either from the UI, API or directly in the database before performing the import.

When executing a staging import, users could choose different strategies to update the data.
”Copy as new” was one of the option, that allow the importer to create new items if they were already in the system. This could lead to create more elements than expecting that later on the user would need to clean. We are deprecating this feature in order to simplify the UI and avoid users to do mistakes.

There will not be a substitution.

In order to assist users in the migration to Jakarta EE required for 2025.Q3 and beyond, Blade and Workspace users now have a command to automatically convert their source code from Java EE to Jakarta EE for DXP-provided libraries.

Benefits

This tool simplifies the process for users migrating custom code to Jakarta. Providing:

1. In-place source code transformation from javax to jakarta for custom development projects using DXP-provided libraries

2. Liferay-specific dependency mapping

3. Portlet 4.0 conversion

4. Integration into Liferay Workspace

5. Supports source code conversion regardless of deployment method (e.g. JAR or WAR)

This tool is supported by Liferay to convert source code for compatibility with the Jakarta libraries provided by Liferay DXP.
