RE: MAPICS Development Team is being moved to India? -- MAPICS-L

Ted,
 
I can assure you that Browser Developement is NOT being done in India.  I am 
sorry you are having problems with switching environments.  We have been 
learning alot about deploying this new technology and are constantly working to 
improve it.  I do know there is work beeing done to streamline working with 
multiple environments.  I do not know if you have opened an issue with the 
response line about your situation, if you have not, I recommend you do so.  
Yes, sometimes these issues take some time to resolve, but I can assure you 
that the MAPICS and Paragon teams are committed to resolving them.  
 
I am forwarding this on to someone from support to look into your issue.

        And this probably explains why Release 7 Ewp and Powerlink (Browser) are
        still not really ready for prime time.  How long has Release 7 been out?
        Awhile now!  We have a lot to Ewp users and there are still many screens
        that go to "green screen" look and function - meaning they have to 
leave the
        mouse to enter a number or hit a function key.  Then we have minor 
problems
        with PowerLink where the change to environments using the drop down 
causes
        the "Browser" to hang for about an hour or so why the new environment 
JARs
        are set up and if we go back to original env. they are set up again, 
also we
        can't add blank lines to templates (function just dosen't work), we can 
get
        rid of column seperators in templates if we add them (function just 
dosen't
        work)... Browser is just a nightmare that can be absolutely frustrating.
        I
        had to come up with my own work arounds to switch environments after 
messing
        with it for hours.
        
        I remember a couple years ago we had a guy on this list ranting about 
mapics
        and I didn't feel his pain or understand really all his frustration very
        well... I understand now, you just grow weary and annoyed, especially 
when
        you have users continually asking if mapics fixed something yet or 
reporting
        more problems.
