Thanks for the
info!
All Tivoli
products are now suppose to be following the same schedule for the release of
fixpacks. This is a very recent change. Tivoli now has a quarterly fixpack
release schedule with the release dates set to be the first Friday of each
quarter. This means new fixpacks could have been released yesterday. The next
scheduled release is therefore October 1st.
Having said that, a product development team does not
have to put out a fixpack each quarter. If you do have a fixpack that they
want to release, it has to be per the schedule (I don't think there are any
exceptions to this new rule). Please note that I am only talking about
fixpacks and not test fixes and not interim fixes.
Fixpack 2 for NetView 7.1.4 should be released on
October 1st if all goes according to plan. I hope this helps you all with your
maintenance planning.

Does this imply there will be
a 7.1.4 FixPack2 released shortly, or are the release schedules unrelated?
I'm still a little unclear as to how customers are notified of releases
and fixpacks. I tend to hear of them when working a problem with
support, but otherwise seem to stumble on the information via this list.
Is there a schedule posted for customer viewing, or a notification
service to subscribe to?

The image for 7.1.3 FixPack 3
was sent on schedule. It did not get posted. We are working on it.
That's all I can say at this time.

That whole page
is broken. I can't pull down anything via MySupport. I went after fixpack 1
for 7.1.4 this week - still no luck.
