Thank you, George. Sorry you got a
late start on your holiday. You deserve an ATTABOY for this. I'd
put a statue of you and the support group up next to the Savings Bond one at
Concord but I'm short on bronze today.
OK History fans, I'm mixing the 13th
of April in '75 with Independence Day but it's silly season.
Nevertheless, the support people deserve our thanks for the effort they put
into all of this. I appreciate their work and the fix pack which arrived
today.
All together now; Three cheers for NetView
Support. Hip, Hip, Hooray!

The
search engines find it too, when searching for software updates for NetView,
although the searching isn't easy... Grrr.
BTW,
if you are unhappy with the difficulty and results of the search engine, please
express yourself via feedback (not to me ;-)

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.

RE: [nv-l] Missiing Patches

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.

Yesterday I received an IBM Support

|
|
IBM Tivoli NetView for UNIX/Windows V7.1.3 Fix Pack
3 (7.1.3-NVD-FP03)
|
and linking to the software support repository for patches. When I got
there "the cupboard was bare".
HELP. And have a pleasant holiday.
