emdef Utility Suite End of Support
31 December 2025
This Technical Bulletin supersedes emdef Utility Suite Deprecation Update.
BMC is alerting you to a change in support, in accordance with the BMC Software Product Support Policy.
From October 2026, BMC will no longer support the emdef Utility Suite, and will no longer provide technical support, software updates, or security patches for this product and jobs that use these utilities will fail. This applies to all emdef utilities except for the following, which BMC will continue to support until replacements are provided:
- importpromotionrule
- exportpromotionrule
- exportdefservice
- defservice
Control-M Automation API provides an alternative solution and enables you to perform services or commands that are equivalent to most of the emdef utilities. See emdef Utility Suite Deprecation for a list of Automation API equivalents to emdef utilities.
