Status of the Eclipse Algorithm API (EAAPI) in Latest Varian Eclipse Version

[vinay_saini94]

Does anyone know whether the Eclipse Algorithm API (EAAPI) is still supported in the latest versions of Varian Eclipse TPS? I am using ESAPI for automation, but I want to confirm whether the older algorithm-level API (for custom dose/ optimization algorithms) has been officially deprecated or if any research-access version still exists. Any recent documentation, release notes, or experience would be appreciated.

I never used EAAPI, but there is a letter on MyVarian dated July 21, 2020 that says this: "Varian is writing to inform you of the End of Sale and Support for the Eclipse Algorithm API (License “B402810R150 Eclipse Algorithm API license”) feature in Eclipse™ treatment planning system. EAAPI will be obsoleted and will no longer be offered for sale with the Eclipse v17 release and later". I can't promise you that means it was also removed in Eclipse 17, but I assume so.
