If I recall correctly (and I might not), you can lobby your VAR to let all of their customers have access to the knowledgebase and IBM will open it up to them. (Good luck with that my Datatel-customer friends, although maybe it has happened and I'm behind the times) smiles. --dawn

Yes and no, yes to anything without a key next to it, which is usually nothing technical or helpful. The frustration comes from getting emails directly from IBM saying there is a white paper or tech bulletin that pertains to U2 with some pretty useful information, but when I follow the link to the paper, it is restricted and has that little key next to it. No matter how many different ways I log in I can't get to it. And, of course, I get an email from IBM that says I just tried to access something I'm not allowed to look at. It's not like I am depriving my var from anything. We buy the licenses to UV from them, have them set up our systems, and if there is a system problem we usually call them but that is the extent of our relationship. They don't sell a software product we can use. As a matter-of-fact we are a Linux/Unix shop and they deal mostly with Windows. -----Original Message----- From: David Murray [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, July 18, 2007 3:09 PM To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org Subject: RE: [U2] UniData 7.1 vs. MS SQL 2005 performance Jerry, Do you have currently have access to the knowledgebase? It is possible (as I have had access before), but access by an end-user seems to be the exception rather the norm. Is anyone from IBM in this mail list want to comment?

Just because we don't buy an application from anyone we are excluded from something that might help us build it better and faster. -----Original Message----- From: David Murray [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, July 18, 2007 1:10 PM To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org Subject: RE: [U2] UniData 7.1 vs. MS SQL 2005 performance And it is the reason that I would never recommend in-house software development with any U2 products. You will always be flying blind.
