Obsolete Applications
Table 5 shows the applications that are now obsolete either because they are no longer in use in the field or they have been replaced with more recent applications. While configuration commit will not fail if these obsolete applications are already configured, the recommendation is to remove these applications from configurations of AppSecure modules (AppFW, AppQoS, APBR, AppQoE and Unified Policy), as they will no longer be classified or reported. The applications which have been replaced are added as an alias under a related application which are provided in the specific reason column. You cannot configure a new policy with these obsolete applications, instead you can use the related applications mentioned in the specific reason column where available.
