Re: Priority ID and OS V5R4 upgrade

Thanks Alan, I saw this on the website but was wondering if anyone had
heard if they are really pursuing getting it fixed and when it might
happen.

I got the following from Mapics. 

Alan,

The MUI issues in V5R4 are being researched with help from IBM and the
original MUI developer.

Thanks,

Nick McKnight

Symptom:Issues with V5R4
Symptom:APAR 80655 Red X appears when pressing F1, F4, or Home keys
Symptom:After upgrading to V5R4, getting Red X at the bottom of the
screen when pressing F1, F4, or Home keys Symptom:MUI not working on
V5R4 Symptom:XA Help, lookup and screen design functions are not working
on
V5R4
Fact:XAR4
Fact:XAR5
Fact:XAR5.5
Fact:XAR6
Fact:XAR7
Fix:Issues that we have encountered with V5R4:
        1.  Problems in AP after upgrading to OS V5R4 (Per IBM apply
SI24104 ptf)
        2.  FRxAM Load is receiving error Column Code Not Found on V5R4
(DTS Package AMMAPICS1.0.180 corrects this problem)
        3.  F1, F4 (Help, Lookup) do not consistently work on Dumb
Terminals (issue currently being worked on)
        4.  User created extended Help (F1-F2) does not show up (issue
currently being worked on)
        5.  F1/F4 is not working on PCs (issue currently being worked
on)

        From "E:Info" - e:mail August 26, 2003

         MAPICS will be withdrawing MAPICS User Interface (MUI) defect
support effective March 1, 2004

         MAPICS will continue to provide telephone support on MUI
function.    

         Defect support will be withdrawn due to the low number of
reported defects and stability of the offering.


        If it is something that can simply be corrected, we may pursue
this avenue.  We are currently working with the developer to track and
see  
        what the issues are with F1/F4 and for possible solutions.


        Again, we are not guaranteeing that this will be corrected.

Speaking of V5R4, does anyone know whether Infor has addressed some of
the MUI issues (F1/F4 not working, etc) occurring with this upgrade?  We
are planning to upgrade over the Thanksgiving holiday.

"It's probably more likely we go to SAP than any higher MAPICS."

I've heard that (or Oracle, or JDE, or whatever) WAAAY too often!  And
it makes absolutely no financial sense to me.  It's gotta cost a TON
more to change than to upgrade (unless you are tier-based).  I've been
stalled at
R6 for a way too long to suit me, and initially it was because we might
have to go to JDE/Peoplesoft/Oracle/whatever-they-are-this-week.   At
least
that's over now - we have been declared "out of scope"  to their
conversion.   We're on MAPICS/Infor for the foreseeable future.  I'm
going
to upgrade to V5R4 first, then a new i5 box, THEN to R7.  I'm hoping we
will be further down our "reimplementation" of ERPII by then so I can
put more time into it.  (We go through a reimplementation every several
years as people "forget" how things are supposed to work.)
