# Unsupported and deprecated features

This section provides information about features and technologies that are not available in the current LoadRunner Enterprise release, or whose support was partially or fully discontinued, or will be discontinued in future versions of LoadRunner Enterprise.

In this topic:

## Unsupported features

While most of the features defined in previous versions are displayed and work in the same way in the current release, the below features are not available or fully implemented:

Feature | Comments
--- | ---
ALM integration | As a result of decoupling from ALM, there is no direct integration between LoadRunner Enterprise and ALM. LoadRunner Enterprise does however integrate with ALM via VAPI-XP. For details, see Integrate with ALM via VAPI-XP. This means that connectivity from UFT One (via ALM) is not supported. LoadRunner Enterprise does still integrate directly with VuGen and Analysis.
Cloud hosts | Credits reports and calculations have been deprecated.
Database | LoadRunner Enterprise can only work with a single database server. As a result, all project schemas must be located on the same database server.
Define Target IP addresses | Defining IP addresses to use as a target for performance testing is currently not supported.
Diagnostics | Diagnostics integration is currently unavailable and was removed from the user interface.
Elastic Dockerized hosts | Elastic Dockerized Controller hosts are currently not supported. Monitoring orchestrator metrics using the Prometheus monitor (for Swarm) and the Heapster Server (for Kubernetes) are no longer supported. When migrating a project that contains tests using Dockerized hosts, only the Orchestration configurations are migrated; the path to your updated Docker images must be redefined. For details and suggested resolution, see Notes and limitations.
File repository | The file repository for each project is located under the same root folder with a fixed structure. A distributed file repository is not supported. For details, see Project repository.
Multilingual user interface | The Russian language pack is not supported.
Monitors | The Oracle Database monitor is not supported and was removed from the monitors list.
Offline results | Offline results are not displayed for runs from versions of LoadRunner Enterprise earlier than 2021 R2.
PAL | PAL (Performance Application Lifecycle) is not supported and was removed from the navigation toolbar. Note: PAL data is still migrated from earlier versions to LoadRunner Enterprise as part of the migration process (support is planned for this feature in an upcoming version).
Projects | Direct migration from ALM to LoadRunner Enterprise 2023 R1 is not supported. Instead, you must first migrate ALM projects to LoadRunner Enterprise 2023, and then upgrade to 2023 R1. The following entities are not supported when migrating projects from Performance Center 12.6x to LoadRunner Enterprise 2023 or earlier: Event log, Audit (for all projects, LAB, and Site Admin) Cloud accounts and templates Roles and permissions LDAP servers Project history data is not supported. All relevant historical audit data is in the original project's schema.
Reports | All cloud reports were removed except for the Cloud Operations report. Cloud and Docker usage data is now centralized under the Elastic Cloud Utilization and Elastic Docker Utilization reports. For details, see Reports.
Service Virtualization | Service Virtualization integration (as it existed until 12.63) is not supported, however Service Virtualization monitors can be added in LoadRunner Enterprise 2021 or later. For details, see Service Virtualization monitor.
Template projects | The ALM template projects feature is not supported.
User-defined fields (UDF) | UDFs are currently not supported. Note: UDF data is still migrated from earlier versions to LoadRunner Enterprise as part of the migration process (support is planned for this feature in an upcoming version). The default UDFs appearing in the schema during the creation of ALM Lab or projects are migrated. If additional columns were added to a project, only the columns up to the number listed in parenthesis below are migrated: For Projects: Test (24), Test instance (24), Runs (12), Test Set (6) For Lab: Project Properties (4), Host (5)
Version control | LoadRunner Enterprise does not currently support version control. As a result, only the latest checked in tests and scripts from ALM are migrated to LoadRunner Enterprise.
