All,
Support for R5 is EOL. What this means is that no more bugs have been found
in a significant amount of time (i.e. 1 year) and so ending support just
means that no new fixes will be required. Anyone running R5 will be happy
as they should not be having code issues.
Obviously there are still bugs found in R6. Mostly related to non-Atlanta
application integration (i.e. Advanced Planner, et.al.)
There is no announcement on 8.0. Release 7.8 will be General Release (GA)
approx. the same time as the conference in Las Vegas. At that time they
will most likely announce 7.9 for next year.
I'd suspect, and this is just my opinion, that they will not announce R8.0
until 100% of green screen is out of the product.
That being said, there are major enhancements at 7.8 that make it almost a
new application. R7.8 was just early released mid May. We are in the
process of deploying it and hope to have it running in approx. 2 weeks.
Please note that it is an almost new application with significant changes to
the underlying architecture. So far, so good.
The enhancements to Enterprise Integrator, System Link and Net Link are such
that it would be impossible not to be able to cost justify and upgrade from
any previous version. This includes 7.7! AND THAT DOES NOT INCLUDE THE
MAJOR ENHANCEMENTS IN THE CORE APPLICATIONS (I.E. Inventory Transactions and
History Tracking!)
Will keep you all posted on our progress.

Hey, you aren't obsolete! I'm still chugging away on Release 5.0 quite
happily. Where is the announcement for R8? After that release settles
down, I may consider upgrading to 8.0, instead of 7, later this year.

Subject: [MAPICS-L] Support for Release 6
Hello all..
I was scouring the Infor365 website to see if there was any
information
regarding EOL for R6. All I could confirm was that anything prior
was
already EOL. Not to mention support for V5R2.
Anyone hear anything about R6 that could be confirmed? I'm trying to
justify my upgrade (R7, new box, etc) and was working the obsolence
argument and a gut feel won't cut it! :)
BTW - I saw the GA announcement for R8, really making me feel
obsolete!
Just asking - not trying to stir anything up.... :)
