Hello,

I searched the Helpline database for Holley's calls in the past 4 months,
and only see calls about other products, with no mention of CIMPath as
being
logged. So, I am not sure who you were working with at SSA when you say you
worked with 3-4 people. Were these sales people or ?

I suggest that you read the 6.1.00 Net Change document that lists the
various CIMPath functions and says what replaces each of them. If that does
not clarify things for you, open a call with the MFG Helpline at SSA
Chicago. SSA Professional Services could help you with further questions
and
could also assist in implementing SMGs if you are unsure about proceeding
with that solution. Also there is information on OGS about this.

There is no 1 product that replaces the entire CIM product, and the Net
Change document lists out the various options for each function that was in
CIMPath previously. So, the answer to your question does depend upon what
functionality in CIM you were using.

Thanks

Genyphyr Novak
SSA
