Hello list,
In searching for something else, I happened to stumble across a post on the CA support portal, which I have copied below. The original message is posted at https://support.ca.com/irj/portal/anonymous/phpsupcontent?contentID=2206 52 Summary: For anyone on this list that is still using Spectrum 8.x (and list questions indicate that there are many), you should be aware that CA is discontinuing support for 8.x in the next year (~October 2010). Please contact CA for assistance and upgrade planning... I only am passing on the message. No need to reply. Thanks, --Mark S CA Spectrum Network Fault Manager End of Service Announcement for r8.x October 12, 2009 To: CA SPECTRUM Network Fault Manager Customers From: The CA SPECTRUM Network Fault Manager Product Team Subject: End of Service Announcement for CA SPECTRUM Network Fault Manager r8.x CA is continually working to improve our software and services to best meet the needs of our customers.
