RelativityOne Developer News
Welcome to the developer news page. This topic describes upcoming changes, the status of ongoing initiatives, and noteworthy release and deprecation changes that may impact Relativity Developers. You can also review and subscribe to postings on the Relativity Developer Group for more announcements.
Due to differences in deployment and update schedules, the items listed below may not yet exist in all environments on the date indicated.
Coming soon
This section describes notable upcoming functionality and changes that may interest Relativity developers. This includes potential breaking changes that you may need to prepare for. Refer to the Upcoming Changes section in the Platform Change log for more upcoming changes information.
Direct access to Processing SQL DataStores will be removed
An upcoming change in Processing may impact your workflows. On March 17, 2026 direct access to Processing SQL DataStores (e.g.: INVXXXXXXX) will be removed. If you do not utilize direct SQL access in your Processing workflows no action is required. If you do utilize direct SQL access in your Processing workflows, you will need to migrate your workflows to API-based ones. See this post in the developer group for more information.
Reminders
This section highlights current initiatives, programs or other ongoing improvements that may impact Relativity developers. These initiatives may span multiple product updates or versions, so check back often for the latest updates.
Platform Architecture Changes
Relativity is embarking on a journey to bring hyper-scale cloud compute capabilities to the platform. See the Platform Architecture Changes topic for more detail on this initiative, the planned schedule for these changes and how the changes may affect you.
Released Items
This section describes released items noteworthy to Relativity Developers. You can also review the RelativityOne release notes topic in the User Guide for a comprehensive list of released changes, and for a comprehensive sortable and filter-able list of changes impacting developers, please see the Platform change log table.
Staging Reports v3 API deprecated
The Staging Reports v3 API is deprecated and replaced with v4, which provides better performance and uses new technology to support functionality for future features. See this post in the developer group for more information.
ProcessingFilterManager and ProcessingDocumentManager V1 APIs deprecation
The ProcessingFilterManager and ProcessingDocumentManager V1 APIs are deprecated and removed in favor of V2 APIs that utilize the LogicalID field instead of the FileID field in its operations. This change impacts operations in ProcessingFilterManager and ProcessingDocumentManager that utilize or return FileID. Code or workflows that utilize these .NET APIs or REST endpoints will need to be ported to the new V2 APIs. See this post in the developer group for more information.
OAuth2 Client Secrets shown once only
OAuth2 clients will only display the client secret once: immediately after creation. You must copy and securely store it immediately to use in your application's code. The secret will be hidden from all users after the initial page view. If you need to retrieve a client secret after it has been hidden, you will need to reset (generate a new) OAuth2 client secret.
Integration Points load file workflow deprecation
As of August 29, 2025 legacy load file workflows, both import and export, are not supported in Integration Points. If you do not use Integration Points API to import or export load files, no action is required on your end. If you do use legacy load file workflows, you will need to use alternate APIs. Import/Export offers similar functionality with additional features such as enhanced field mapping and advanced job status tracking, improved reliability, and a more seamless user experience. As a replacement to Integration Points API, the Transfer API can be used to move data into/from RelativityOne. In addition, Import Service/Export Service APIs can be used for importing or exporting data into/from workspaces. See this post in the developer group for more information.
Breaking change affecting List Page Interaction event handlers
As previously communicated, Relativity.ListPage has been replaced by Relativity.Lists. Any third-party applications with List Page Interaction event handlers for Relativity.ListPage must be updated to provide equivalent event handlers for Relativity.Lists. See this post in the developer group for more information, as well as the Classic List Page API deprecation reference page.
Return Processing Duplicate Hash
You can now optionally include the calculated processing duplicate hash (PDH) value when retrieving discovered documents with the GetDiscoveredDocuments endpoint in the Processing Filter Manager API. This addition is primarily to support advanced deduplication workflows, such as building custom deduplication tools.
Error tab deprecation
Data Management: Cold Storage determined by the "Workspace State" field
Both the billing logic and the functionality of moving a workspace to Cold Storage rely exclusively on the system-defined "Workspace State" field. The customer-defined "Status" field will no longer influence workspace behavior or billing. Automations that depend on the "Status" field for the purpose of Cold Storage management may cease to work as a result of this change. See this post in the developer group for more information.
Collect Folder Path Data Solution deprecation
The Collect Folder Path Data solution, which reports the total number and size of document files in each workspace and folder in a Relativity instance, is being deprecated and will be removed starting June 5, 2025. The deprecation includes the application, agents, event handlers, and the script for this solution. See this post in the developer group for more information.
Lucene Search deprecation
Lucene Search is deprecated in both the Audit UI and API and removed starting June 2, 2025. In its place, we are introducing basic keyword filtering capabilities using the "is like" and "is not like" operators on the Details field. This change affects how users filter audit records and may require adjustments to existing workflows. See this post in the developer group for more information.
Audit Metrics REST API endpoint deprecation
The Audit Metrics REST API endpoint that returns Audit Record Count and Audit Record Size (in bytes) is deprecated. After March 16, 2025, queries to this endpoint will return 0. The endpoint will be fully retired on October 1, 2025. See this post in the developer group for more information.
Breaking change in Relativity Audit API
Lucene Search Engine support in the Audit User Interface and Audit API is removed from production RelativityOne instances. After the deprecation, you will no longer be able to use the keyword LuceneSearch in the request.condition or request.rowCondition in the Audit API. See this post in the developer group for more information.
Analytics API Deprecation
The Analytics Classification API (.NET and REST) was removed from RelativityOne on December 20, 2024. See this post in the developer group for more information.
Breaking change in Object Manager REST API
The Object Manager REST API returns a 554 status code if an event handler causes Object Manager's REST API to fail. The 554 error will help you troubleshoot when operations fail due to an issue with event handlers. See this post in the developer group for more information.
Deprecation of DataExchange.Client.SDK
The DataExchange.Client.SDK is deprecated in RelativityOne as of December 2, 2024. The Relativity.Import.SDK replaces the DataExchange.Client.SDK. See this post in the developer group for more information.
Solution Snapshot deprecation
The Solution Snapshot application will no longer be supported for Relativity Server as of October 29, 2024. All supporting documentation and access to the RAP will be removed at that time, and no further changes will be made to the application. See this post in the developer group for more information.
RelativityOne Staging
RelativityOne Staging boundaries are streamlined to effectively separate staging data from workspace and system data. With this change, you will no longer be able to write to or access data outside of the defined staging area. The FTA, Temp, Export and dtSearch folders will be removed. For more detail, please reference the Staging Area FAQ community article.
Relativity Testing Framework (RTF) for RelativityOne removed
The Relativity Testing Framework (RTF) for RelativityOne is no longer available as of May 31, 2024. All supporting documentation and access to the NuGet package has been removed and no further changes will be made to the application. Developers should move to using the Relativity APIs directly as a better, truer indication of test. See this post in the developer group for more information.
RTF will continue to be supported for Relativity Server. Effective with the Server 2023 release you can find the latest RTF SDK package on the Server SDK package feed here. For more information on the Server SDK feed and go-forward Server SDK strategy please see this topic.
API Explorer removed
The API Explorer application is no longer supported for RelativityOne nor Relativity Server as of May 20, 2024. All supporting documentation and access to the RAP file has been removed, and no further changes will be made to the application. See this post in the developer group for more information.
Changed behavior due to introduction of rate limiting in Object Manager
Object Manager consumers on a per-application basis will no longer be able to exceed 1,000 requests per minute per Web Server. Upon reaching this limit, Object Manager will respond with an exception (429 - Too many Requests) and will reject the request. This change was applied to Sandboxes on December 20th, 2023 and in Production environments on March 20th, 2024. See the topic Rate limit for best practices and code samples to cater for the rate limiting feature, and see this post in the developer group for more information.
Deprecation of Relativity.Transfer.Client
Relativity.Transfer.Client versions 7.4.10 and below stopped functioning on January 31, 2024, due to the migration of Relativity data transfer products to cloud-based solutions. If your code contains a reference to Relativity.Transfer.Client, you will need to update your code to integrate with Relativity.Transfer.SDK, version 1.0.0+. See this post in the developer group for more information.
Breaking Change due to deprecation of Send to CaseMap mass operation
The Send to CaseMap mass operation is being deprecated in RelativityOne and will be removed around November 28, 2023. If you bulk-send items to your CaseMap database (versions 7 and above) using the mass operation and require similar functionality in RelativityOne, our Case Dynamics product offers similar capabilities. See this post in the developer group for more information.
New developer documentation site
This developer documentation site has been significantly updated to better support Relativity developers. Some noteworthy improvements include:
- Re-organization of content into three main categories: Explore, Integrate and Extend to more closely align with how you may need to interact with our developer documentation.
- Added hyperlinks to headings within topics, allowing you to easily copy a hyperlink to a heading within a topic. Mouse-over any heading to display the link image and then click the link image to copy a hyperlink to that heading.
- Added a topic contents listing on the right-hand side of topics, allowing you to easily see the sections within a topic and quickly jump to the relevant section in that topic. See Basic REST API concepts as an example.
- Implemented a new approach for displaying reference documentation for .NET assembles, based on real-time retrieval from NuGet. See the topic Relativity Identity .NET API Reference as an example.
- Implemented a new approach for displaying reference documentation for REST services, based on OpenAPI (OAS) files. See the topic Billing Insights REST API Reference as an example. You can also download OAS files for Rest services to use these in your own development tooling.
- Improved the API listing table to include links to reference documentation, NuGet packages and OAS files where available. The table is also now filterable and sortable.
Breaking Change due to deprecation of unversioned Production APIs
The unversioned Production APIs will be deprecated and no longer supported as of July 28, 2023. If your .NET code contains a reference to Relativity.Productions.Client or you are calling the non-versioned Production service URLs, you will need to update your code to use Relativity.Productions.SDK or alternatively target the versioned REST service URLs. See this post in the developer group for more information.
Breaking Change due to deprecation of unversioned Relativity Audit API
The unversioned Audit API will be deprecated in June 2023. If your .Net code contains a reference to Relativity.Audit.Services.Unversioned.Interfaces or you are calling the non-versioned service URL, you will need to update your code. See this post in the developer group for more information.
