Tom,
Is this going to be supported by IBM? If so how?(ie call to
support center) and is it maintenance going to be shipped on
the monthly maintenance tape? Then how is SMP/e going to
support it?
The Rexx Alternate Library is not SMP/E installable. It has no
maintenance, having been functionally stabilized for many
years. If there are any bugs, IBM would create a new Web
deliverable.
Tom,
Not trying to be too much of a pain here. But I sure would not
want to install *ANY* product that is not supported, especially
something in the linklist (where I am guessing you would have to
install it). Its even worse, IMO than something off the CBT Tape,
at least there you have a person to ask questions of and at least
you might get an answer to a bug.
I just don't understand why IBM would not support it. It seems
logically to me that it is something that is reasonably supportable.
<sigh> It is supported, I never said it wasn't. Functionally
stabilized does not mean not supported. If you find a bug, IBM
will fix it. Repeat, if you find a bug, IBM will fix it. I did
say that above. Maybe you don't like Web deliverables. Nothing I
can do about that.
Then I am guessing it has class "A" status you can PMR it from what
you are saying. There is another reason I would not install it (no
smpe support). As to fixes its not clear to me how IBM is going to
deliver fixes, since it is non smpe. Going to a web site and check
daily? Sorry I have to much other things to do.
