Interpreting output from Impact GUI for deprecated endpoint calls

Ryan Morlok

Per [this question][1], this [wiki page][2] shows how to run a report of deprecated endpoint calls for PROD or QED.

Is the API column the API call that within it made a deprecated endpoint call to elsewhere, or is that the endpoint itself that is deprecated?

For example, in a result for Doc & Form Builder, I see the API column having Cobalt.Foldering.MatterMember.Update and Key having a value of Cobalt.Foldering.DeprecatedCall.DataRoom.Project.Permissions.Update. I assume the foldering endpoint is calling a deprecated DataRoom endpoint, but why do both have Cobalt.Foldering in them?

In general, the part of the key *before* **.DeprecatedCall.** is the application doing the calling and the part *after* is the deprecated API being called. This convention was decided upon namely for displaying deprecated endpoint information in the [ErrorGUINext][1].
