Well, things have changed with regard to the Release Notes for NetView
maintenance releases since the last time I was involved.
If you go to the Tivoli website, http://www.tivoli.com/support/documents/,
and login as a registered user, then you can now download the Release Notes
not only for NetView 6.0, and 6.01. but as of this morning, 6.0.2 as well.
I was notified by someone who saw my posting that if I contacted the right
person he would see to it that our Release Notes were put there. I did,
and he did, and now you can get them there.
Thanks for setting me straight. Now that I have been told that the policy
was changed and how to make it happen, I can make sure it always happens,
and on time too.

I personally have tried to resolve this in the past and gotten nowhere so I
no longer fight it.
I was told our mainatence releases did not qualify for inclusion, which is
why I post a list of defects fixed here every time we GA.

James -
The Release Notes for the maintenance releases of almost every other Tivoli
product are carried on the Tivoli Support web site, usually placed there
just before GA for the release.
Why not NetView?
The level of effort and amount of resources required to make the
maintenance release Release Notes available on the Tivoli Support web site
would be minimal. Why the resistance?

Search the list archives for postings on this. There were several on the
contents on 6.0.1 and 6.0.2, and there may even be a copy of the Release
Notes attached. The Tivoli site does not carry doc on maintenance releases,
only major new versions.
Or just order the thing and read the Release Notes.
Please understand that while customers are not required to put on
maintenance unless they want to, if you report a problem to Support, and
the folks you talk to think it is fixed in the latest level or that they
need to get a trace or a core from the latest level of code, then they will
tell you that you must apply that level in order to continue. We cannot
pursue problems on old levels of code, once the new one ships. The new one
is becomes the base level, and all customers should go to that level as
soon as it is practically feasible for them to do so. You should not need
to get a list a of new features (although there were several introduced in
6.0.1 and expanded in 6.0.2) as a reason to go to the next maintenance
level.

Subject: [NV-L] Upgrade from NV6.0 to NV6.02
Hi List!!:
One short question. Does anybody know where can I find information about
the
new features of netview 6.0.2. vs. netview 6.0? It's running over AIX 4.3.3
and I'm planning to update my release.
I have looked in the tivoli site but didn't find anything.
Thanks. Saludos.
