Product-wide deprecated and removed features

Elliptic curve encryption (ECC) Support for ECC encryption has been removed. This change affects the following features:
- The IsEccAvailable server property has been removed.
- The -ec database server option no longer accepts ECC for the TLS_TYPE protocol option. The TLS_TYPE protocol option for the -ec database server option has been removed from the documentation; however, this option is still supported by the software for backwards compatibility.
- The ENCRYPTION connection parameter no longer accepts ECC for the TLS-TYPE argument. The TLS_TYPE argument for the ENCRYPTION connection has been removed from the documentation; however, this option is still supported by the software for backwards compatibility.
- The Certificate Creation utility (createecert ) no longer accepts the -ec option and the -t option no longer accepts ecc for the encryption type.
- The Key Pair Generator utility (createkey) only creates RSA key pairs. The Choose encryption type and Enter ECC curve prompts have been removed.
- The SQL Anywhere Monitor does not support ECC encryption. To monitor a pre-version 16 MobiLink server that uses ECC encryption, you must:
  - Start the MobiLink server with a second set of network protocol options that does not use ECC.
  - Add the MobiLink server as a resource to be monitored. When prompted to specify the port number for the MobiLink server resource, specify the number that is not associated with ECC encryption.
- The MobiLink tls_type protocol option no longer accepts ECC for the tls_type option. The MobiLink tls_type protocol option has been removed from the documentation; however, this option is still supported by the software.
- The MobiLink client e2ee_type protocol option no longer accepts ECC for the tls_type option. The MobiLink client e2ee_type protocol option has been removed from the documentation; however, this option is still supported by the software.
- The Outbound Enabler tls_type option no longer supports ECC as a choice. The tls_type protocol option has been removed from the documentation.
- UltraLite C/C++ and UltraLiteJ API methods and properties related to ECC configuration have been removed.
Send column names In MobiLink and UltraLite, column names are now always sent during synchronization. Attempts to disable sending column names are ignored. This change affects the following features:
- In MobiLink, the SendColumnNames (scn) extended option for dbmlsync has been deprecated and is ignored if set to OFF. The SendColumnNames extended option has been removed from the documentation; however, this option is still supported by the software.
- UltraLite and UltraLiteJ clients always send column names when synchronizing with a MobiLink server database. Methods and approaches that are used to stop sending column names are now ignored and deprecated. The following members and parameters are affected:
  - Send Column Names synchronization parameter
  - Synchronization profile options
  - SyncParms.setSendColumnNames method [UltraLiteJ]
  - SyncParms.getSendColumnNames method [UltraLiteJ]
  - ULSyncParms.SendColumnNames property [UltraLite.NET]
  - send_column_names in the ul_sync_info structure [UltraLite C and Embedded SQL datatypes]
