> 1. why not prepare a supported cum package that includes all known bmr's
at a given point in time? from the process that you describe, if i want to
stay current and get the known BMR's applied to my system, i can just
request a BMR explosion from you perhaps once a quarter. it would seem to me
that if several clients were doing this on a recurring basis, you would be
forever creating and distributing BMR bundles, and each one would be
different. why not create a BMR bundle periodically once for the whole
system and make it available to clients that are interested? this sure seems
like a lot less work on your part!

Hi Chick - good idea and a good point, and I understand your frustrations. I
know this idea has been tossed around in the past, and was not implemented
for varied reasons at that point in time, however, I will again pass this
suggestion on to managers.

> 2. in your narrative you mentioned Version 6.1.02. where did that come
from? i have specifically called the help desk and the account rep and was
told that the most current version of bpcs (version 6) is version 6.1.01 and
that i needed to order a BMR bundle explosion of this release to get all of
the additional BMR's that have been released since the V6.1.01 cum package.
so what is the current status of version 6.1.xx?

BMRs completed after the release of 6.1.01 are currently closed into a
version/release of 6.1.02 (this is reflected in the OGS online BMR release
number of  '02'). Therefore, if a cumulative were to ever be cut again on
this release, these would be the included BMRs. This is not meant to suggest
that one is being cut, but to point out that if you have the 6.1.01 cume,
you only need to concern yourself with BMRs closed on release '02' in the
BMR system, as you already have the other BMRS under release '01'. Sorry for
any confusion.
