Re: NetView maintenance release 6.0.3

["James Shanks" <jshanks@us.ibm.com>]

This is a multipart message in MIME format.

6.0.3 is just a bunch of bug fixes to current code.  You can install it on 
a working NetView in less than half an hour.  It offers no new function.
All it does is extend the usefulness of NetView Version 6.0 from now until 
its end of service, which has been announced as October 26, 2002.

&1. offers new function, such as a new Java-based MIB loader and browser 
to use with the web client, new web client security features, and support 
for miscellaneous other things such as ISDN, MPLS, and some new bridge 
topology. 

If you can migrate to 7.1 now, then I would do so.  If you can't, then get 
6.0.3.  You will have to sooner or later anyway.

James - what are the pros/cons of staying with Version 6 and upgrading to 
release 6.0.3 versus upgrading to version 7.1?

Thanks and have a great day!  :-)

Now that I have let the cat out of the bag in another note, and told 
everyone that NetView 6.0.3 went to manufacturing last week, let me post 
what is in it.
I will attach text copies of the APAR lists from UNIX and NT to this note. 

 Hot list customers should be getting their copies by the end of this 
week.  Everyone else should be able to order it now, but new orders may 
not be filled for a month domestically or up two months overseas.  It 
takes Copenhagen awhile to get the shelves stocked.
