[WDSCI-L] Re: New version of WDSC

["Mark Phippard" <MarkP@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Rob,

Joe is talking about the just announced WDSC 5.1.  The article you are 
referring to in our newsletter described how to obtain WDSC 5.0.  The 
article is at this URL for those that are interested.

http://www.softlanding.com/tlz/index.htm

Hopefully, IBM will provide some more details in the coming days about how 
WDSC 5.1 will be made available.

Also, while WDSC 5.1 will not be available until September 27, WSAD and 
WSSD 5.1 will be available on this Friday (August 8).  So that does beg 
the question as to whether those of us that are doing a lot of plain 
Java/Web development can upgrade the WSAD/WSSD portion prior to September 
27.

IBM'ers?

Mark

SoftLanding had a nice article on doing this in their sporadic newsletter. 

 All the necessary links, etc.

This is being posted at WDSCI-L, but I'm going to cross-post parts of it
here, because there's a larger question involved.

Okay, IBM just announced V5.1 of WDSC.  Very cool.  However, I can't
even begin to figure out how to get the upgrade.  When I go to the
website, I get web pages and web pages about the "Passport Advantage"
program, and I don't have a clue what that is or how it relates to the
thousands of dollars I pay in software and hardware maintenance.  For
this list in particular, do you guys have a passport?  How did you get
it?

Look at the following pages:

http://www.ibm.com/isource/cgi-bin/goto?it=usa_annred&on=203-193
http://www.ibm.com/isource/cgi-bin/goto?it=usa_annred&on=203-195

It seems to me (although I could be completely confused) that I can get
these packages for my V5R1 machine (which is up to date on software
subscription) by ordering part number 5905.

The interesting thing is that it looks like I can only order these
things between October 17th and November 21st, after which they will be
discontinued.  (Meaning it's time for me to think about upgrading to
V5R2.)

Joe
