GetUriPath obsolete

[rcouture (Richard)]

Hello there.
We are migrating epicor 10.700 to Kinetic. In Customer Shipment Entry, we are now getting a warning about GetUriPath:

Warning: BC40000 - line xxx(xxxx) - ‘Public Shared Function GetUriPath(contractType As System.Type) As String’ is obsolete: ‘Not needed for Web API services.’

The warning line:

Dim baqRep as Ice.Proxy.Rpt.BAQReportImpl = WCFServiceSupport.CreateImpl(Of Ice.Proxy.Rpt.BAQReportImpl)(oTrans.Session, Epicor.ServiceModel.Channels.ImplBase.GetUriPath(GetType(Ice.Contracts.BAQReportSvcContract) ))

What is this warning for and is there a fix to it?

Oh yes in VB…

Thanks.

WCF has been deprecated.

You can still use it, but there are hoops to jump through now.

They want to to migrate to using the REST interfaces, in some form or fashion.

Let me see if I can dig you up a thread. I think @Rich has some on the subject.

Visual Studio & Material Issue & REST

Another option for you would be to continue to use WCF and transition to REST Service Calls or Kinetic Functions as time allows. WCF is still supported with Kinetic - you just need to register the Service to enable WCF. Search help for WCF - there is a SQL Script you need to modify / run to enable WCF for the Service you need. Now, that said, WCF is on the way out. You definitely need to allocate some time and convert to REST Calls or rewrite to use a Function.

Establishing a Session in Kinetic 11.2.300

With Kinetic 11.2, the Server code moved from using the .NET Framework to using .NET (aka .NET Core) and with that change, the use of WCF was deprecated. WCF is still supported but you have to specify which Services will use WCF (via a simple SQL Script) and then the AppServer must be restarted. Search Help for WCF or contact Support for more information.
