Announcing Adobe LiveCycle Data Services ES
Effective with the release of Adobe LiveCycle ES, the Adobe Flex Data Services 2 server product has been rebranded as a Solution Component of LiveCycle ES.

Articles referring or using ColdFusion and Flex Data Services 2 will not work with LiveCycle Data Services ES and will be updated soon. Go to the following resources to learn more about using LiveCycle Data Services ES:
- LiveCycle Developer Center
- Data integration and Services area in the LiveCycle Developer Center
