Why are the Energy Data Management (EDM) Profile remote extractors marked obsolete?

Hi,

We are implementing the Energy Data Management (EDM) module, and would like to use the Profile Values RemoteCube (0UCEDMVC2) to obtain interval reading data.

However, this cube is located in an InfoArea titled 'Obsolete InfoProvider/InfoObjects - Do Not Use'. I've tried to research this cube, but other than seeing references to it being obsolete, I can't find any information on why it is obsolete (other than possibly being replaced by HANA).

Can anyone provide additional information on why this cube is obsolete, and any issues our company may face if we decide to use it anyway? If we do use the cube, my plan would be to make a copy of it and place it inside our CRB InfoArea.

Thank you very much for your help!
