# Deprecation

The following functionality is deprecated and likely to be removed in a future release.

## 1.5.20.33

### [Google Apps connector](../connector-reference/google.html)

* Using the StartsWith (`SW`) filter on the `orgUnitPath` attribute to query the `OrgUnit` object is deprecated. Use the Equals (`EQ`) filter on the new `parentOrgUnitPath` attribute.

  Learn more in [Supported search filters](../connector-reference/google.html#google-apps-search-filters).

## 1.5.20.30

### [ServiceNow connector](../connector-reference/servicenow.html)

* The `sys_id` ServiceNow connector attribute is deprecated and replaced with the `__NAME__` attribute.

- The `user` object type in the ServiceNow schema is deprecated. Use the native `__ACCOUNT__` object type instead.

## 1.5.20.21

### [Google Apps connector](../connector-reference/google.html)

The `__SECONDARY_EMAIL__` user attribute is deprecated. Use the newer attribute `__SECONDARY_EMAILS__`. These two attributes are mutually exclusive.

## Earlier than 1.5.18.0

### `JAVA_TYPE_DATE` attribute type

Support for the native attribute type `JAVA_TYPE_DATE` is deprecated and will be removed in a future release. This property-level extension is an alias for `string`. Any dates assigned to this extension should be formatted per ISO 8601.
