Are old rack API compatible with new warehousing module?

Hi,

I am updating a model created with FlexSim 18.2 to the last version 19.2. Are old rack commands compatible with new module?

I haven't read "deprecated" into command help and I didn't see any suggestion to new API.

Thanks in advantage for the support!

The new warehousing module is totally compatible with old API.

There is an issue with backward compatibility only if you use the command in "OnExit" trigger.

When the flowitem is picked, it lost any information about rack even if it is in the rack. Then if you want to recover the bay or level, you can't.

I am not sure if it is an issue, but I highlight with this simple model.backward-compatibility.fsm

To see the issue you have to simply run the model.
