Replicants vs containers

Hi,

We are planning to upgrade from TS 6.1 to TS 6.7.1. I would like to know whether replicants will be supported in new version or do I need to change to containers.

Please help me and Thanx in advance.

You should use container items with min/max values in place of replicant items (the other choice for single item replicants is to specify min/max values on the item itself)

thanx for your quick reply...

So you mean to say I need to change all the dcts. Why i'm asking is that we are having around 200 dcts and won't be there any workaround for this.

Please let me know if you have any ideas.

If you have existing DCTs, then it's VERY likely they continue to work... we moved some TS 5.5.2 DCTs into TS 6.5 last year (Solaris). This year, I tried them out - just for simple testing - in a TS 6.7.1 and they seem to work just fine. These DCT include replicants and are all "iwov-style".

It's true that replicants are deprecated and should not be used in new development.
