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 13^th 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.

RE: [nv-l] Missiing Patchess
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 Flash listing
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.
