What is being deprecated?
Effective May 31, 2024, Browser Synthetic scripted jobs configuration that use Python 2 scripts will not be supported.
What is the impact?
- Creation of jobs: New jobs using Python 2 will not be allowed.
- Managing jobs: Editing or updating a job will be allowed only with the Python 3 script.
- Editing an existing job with a Python 2 script will change the scripting version setting to Python 3. Hence, you must update the script to Python 3 before saving.
- If you save the job with the Python 2 script, job execution will fail.
- Execution of jobs: Execution of an existing job that has Python 2 scripts will not be allowed.
Hosted Synthetic Agent (SaaS and On-premise)
- After the deprecation (May 31, 2024), job execution will fail because the jobs will be executed only in Python 3.
- The new version of the browser will not support Python 2.
Private Synthetic Agent (SaaS and On-premise)
- Any new Private Synthetic Agent (PSA) version released after the deprecation date will support only Python 3.
Warning: Older versions of the on-premise Controller and PSA will continue to support Python 2 for one year after the deprecation.
