At the risk of repeating myself, the "replacement" tools for the IBM functions we all know and love:
Do not perform as well as their predecessors. Are not as reliable as their predecessors. Are not as available as their predecessors. I find it ironic that a company that prides on a flagship operating system with 99.999% availability (5 min downtime/year) Must resort to support tools with merely 99% availability. To paraphrase: "IBM, heal thyself" <snip> https://www-304.ibm.com/ibmlink/news/NewsServlet.wss?referrer=newsSearchResults&command=Get&news_item_id=5685&lc=en&cc=US IBMLink Outage Feb 2nd. 24 January 2013 This is to inform you that IBMLink will have a planned outage for system maintenance starting on Saturday, Feb 2nd at 11:00 AM EST through Sunday, Feb 3th at 12:40 PM EST.
