[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/TEIIDDES-1556?page=com.atlassian.jira.plu... ] Ramesh Reddy commented on TEIIDDES-1556: ---------------------------------------- Teiid 8.x contains the support for functionsmodel for legacy and backwards compatibility purposes, this needs to be gone from the Designer in 8.x, so that Teiid can remove its support in 9.x. More over Designer already supports the alternative methods. IMO, Designer should be capable of reading a FunctionModel, but should NOT give capability to create new one. Then if it does read a old FunctionModel, it should have a validation error on it so that user must move the functions to new model structure before the VDB can be saved. There is no function model concept in DDL based VDB. Even Komodo removes this, we need to have the deprecation and alternative now. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
