# Deprecation: #81201 - EidUtility::initTCA

See [forge#81201](https://forge.typo3.org/issues/81201)

## Description

The static PHP method `EidUtility::initTCA()` has been marked as deprecated, because the full
global TCA array is available at any eID request already.

## Impact

Calling this method triggers a deprecation log entry.

## Affected Installations

Any TYPO3 installation with an extension having a custom eID script registered that uses this method.

## Migration

The method call is superfluous and can be removed from the caller script.
