I have to wonder why they'd support the backward functionality. It was pretty well documented that a version 5.x version of the WUT would immediately crash a 6.x version of AR Server if it used certain deprecated API calls.
These were something similar to Get List Entry With Fields, but it used to work differently. Time has removed the specifics from my head...

I noticed that macros contained in other products like EIE (had a bunch of them - all gone now) have been converted. So these should have also been cleaned up by now and a query like below should have not returned any results that involved OTB objects (in case like vanilla installs).

They have been converted and counterparts of them exist that utilize the new actions such as open window, push, etc....so, they aren't 'hurting' you, and if you want, you could likely delete them if you aren't going to be having any 5.x clients connecting....but them being there shouldn't be more than an annoyance, if that sort of thing annoys you :) On Tue, May 5, 2015 at 1:53 PM, Joe D'Souza <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: ** In the 8.1.2 vanilla system, I can still see 7 active links that have macro actions embedded in them that are attached to 3 existing forms.

Should they not have been converted to local AR System actions? I have not checked what exactly each one of them do (they do things ranging from deleting stuff to searching for stuff to even submitting stuff), but if they are still there, they might as well be functional and be present there.
