Re: SQL Server 2005 support?
Hi Del! Your statement "Customer always have the option of not installing a fix release, and waiting for the next PTF or release of that Data Protection client" may be true in most cases, but not when new platform support is added. You don't have the option to wait for a new release because you cannot backup your production data in the meantime! We normally use the most recent maintenance levels for all TSM and DP clients. Only when customers encounter a bug which is fixed in a fix release, they will upgrade to that fix release, until the next maintenance release (containing the APAR) is there. The customer will replace their fix level with this new maintenance level a.s.a.p. I think most TSM customers work this way. Why didn't Tivoli add the Windows 2005 support and release this as maintenance release 5.3.0? That was a nice chance of synchronizing the level with other DP clients like DP for Exchange, DP for Lotus Domino and DP for mySAP...

Hi Del! Thank you very much for your quick reply! I wasn't expecting new support in a fix release... Wouldn't it be more logical to create a 5.2.2.0 version containing 2005 support?

Re: Data Protection for SQL 5.2.1.03 - Adds SQL Server 2005 Support
Hi Ruth, It's nice to hear from you. We were in Ithaca recently buying more unfinished furniture at the unfinished furniture store downtown. I love that place. Back to work topics... We have put full pressure on Microsoft for this. They told me this will be the first hotfix for SQL Server 2005, so I am the guinea pig. They also said that they are being very picky with SQL Server 2005 on which bugs they will put out a hotfix for. I relayed to them that this is one of those bugs that will need the hotfix because it causes people to not be able to back up their brand new SQL Server 2005 database! I received an email yesterday that the "official" hotfix has been sent to development. I expect to hear from them before the end of the week. Once I have the hotfix, and tested it, I will post to ADSM-L and also place the IA64 version on the FTP Server. I am estimating 1-2 weeks, but since I don't have control over Microsoft resources, I can not be sure of that estimate.
