Hi

When I installed Alfresco Content Services Community 6.2 GA, the following log was output to catalina.out.

2020-01-04 22:20:47,357  WARN  [heartbeat.datasender.HBDataSenderServiceBuilder] [localhost-startStop-1] Setting the Heartbeat sender cron with property 'heartbeat.sender.cronExpression' is no longer supported.

heartbeat.sender.cronExpression appears to be used in the following beans:

https://github.com/Alfresco/alfresco-repository/blob/76ebd2d850802268ecf072e55200f7fffcbb19ff/src/main/resources/alfresco/heartbeat/heartbeat-context.xml#L11

When I open the target source in Intellij IDEA, the following is DEPRECATED.

I can confirm this behaviour on latest ACS 6.2.2:

2020-10-09 12:16:19,061 WARN [org.alfresco.heartbeat.datasender.HBDataSenderServiceBuilder] [localhost-startStop-1] Setting the Heartbeat sender cron with property 'heartbeat.sender.cronExpression' is no longer supported.

This WARN message even appears on each startup in the alfresco.log when you change the default settings
https://github.com/Alfresco/alfresco-repository/blob/master/src/main/resources/alfresco/repository.properties#L1276
to deactivate heartbeat for your ACS installation which is not connected to the internet in the alfresco-global.properties:
heartbeat.enabled=false
