I had a chat with our BP on Friday, and he indicated that the earliest IBM is shipping v7.0 on media is March 16th. /b; -----Original Message----- From: Vernon Hamberg [mailto:vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Sunday, March 04, 2007 7:13 PM To: Midrange Systems Technical Discussion Subject: Re: You can get your hands on WDSc 7.0 ... Yeah Pete - as a partner I just go to the software access catalog and skip all this nonsense. It seemed to me that the update to the standard WDSC - like from v5 to v6 and i hope to v7 was and is done by ordering a refresh from your business partner of 5722-WDS - normal way to order this kind of thing. Guess we will need to "watch this spot" - maybe Violaine or one of the others knows. As to an update to AE - probably has to be done through PPA, as it is not orderable as a licensed product. Just my guesses. Vern At 10:50 AM 3/4/2007, you wrote:
Vern, I don't think you are beating a dead horse here. It IS confusing. Following your link, I clicked on the "Support Downloads" option, which is logical because I want to download the latest WDSc (right?). Well, interestingly enough, upgrading to V 7.0 can only be done through PPA online. But an "all-inclusive update" to 6.0 is available without
going
to PPA. I am guessing that this is an "upgrade" vs "update" issue. Upgrades, I guess, go through PPA online . Updates can be gotten through the updater or thorough a direct download. In any case, as a business partner with a "Software Access Catalog" account, I can download from there. But what if I didn't have that account? I guess I would have to sign up for PPA (it's free, IIRC)
and
then get the upgrade there. Things are a little "fuzzy" still. Pete Helgren Vernon Hamberg wrote:Either because it's Sunday or I'm getting old, but I'm confused.
I've
never got an update for WDSC through PPA - I either used the updater in WDSC or downloaded through www.ibm.com/software/ad/wdt400 (or whatever that gets redirected to). This was true before Rational. I don't know what is meant by the test environment - except what comes with WDSC - the updater would bring it down if need be. Again, PPA never entered the equation for me. Also, the announcement to which you referred was for HATS - nothing to do directly with WDSC, except that the latest version installsas a plugin.So I'm curious - do you have the advanced edition of WDSC? Then it
is
probably a different kettle of fish. Folks on the iSeries that have the 5722-WDS licensed product do not need PPA to update the standard edition - and probably should not do so. This horse is almost dead - sorry to keep riding it. Vern-- This is the Midrange Systems Technical Discussion (MIDRANGE-L) mailing
