NetView 5.1.2 was released to manufacturing earlier this week and will be
available beginning Monday, September 13, 1999. All customers with current
maintenance contracts should be automatically shipped a copy in the next few
weeks. If you want or need one right away, then you can order one by sending a
note to swdist swdist@tivoli.com requesting NetView 5.1.2, including the usual
information: company name, customer # (preferably, a Tivoli cust# which starts
with a T, but an IBM cust# can work if that's how you purchased NetView ),
mailing address, contact name, and contact telephone number. Note however that
if you purchased NetView for Digital Unix through Digital, you must request
5.1.2 through the Digital (Compaq) Corporation.
Note also that you must have a current maintenance contract for NetView in order
to receive 5.1.2
During the ship of NetView 5.1 and 5.1.1, we found that a number of customers
were NOT entitled to NetView or had their maintenance contract expire (a
customer receives 1 year of service free when purchasing the product, but must
pay for a maintenance contract after that in order to receive upgrades). If a
customer sends a note to swdist and their maintenance contract has expired, they
will be sent a reply note asking them to renew their contract via another note
to renew@tivoli.com. The Tivoli account representative, if known, is generally
blind copied on this note.
Please see below the list of defects fixed in this maintenance release, which
was posted yesterday by Mark Sklenarik under a different discussion thread.
