[Manoj Chaurasia]

I am checking for you!

[Warren Hinchliffe]

Thanks so much.

I also have a call with our support people tomorrow. But they are in the dark too.

[Warren Hinchliffe]

We were told 8207.27 would be out at the end of March, then it would be out last week.

No sign of it yet.

The release has so many enhancements and fixes we utterly need and we are desperate to get our hands on.

Please please please, has anyone heard anything

[David Hall 5]

On the usergroup meeting today, I asked the question (along with others) we were told that it should be availaable in days not weeks. They also stated that a notice will go out this week with more information

[Jennifer Lalik]

In the Users Group broadcast today Alan Dix said the email announcement will be coming out this week and available on eDelivery is within days. The software is ready, its the tight control of our first delivery on TIBCOs download site thats causing a delay.

[Warren Hinchliffe]

Thanks Jennifer.

We will wait and keep our finders crossed.

[Toby Mills]

Thanks Jennifer

I too have been looking every day for it to show up. At first I had heard it was mostly a branding effort and some licensing tightening so I wasnt that interested. I am installing 8207.26 on 12 machines this weekend since I decided to give up on waiting for .27.

The end of the week comes and goes

From what Ive been told, it will be out this week.

Just have to wait for the email with instructions.

[David Hall 5]

We were told on the user conference on Wednesday on this question two things

 

instructions would go out that same week (last week) with the coming plans

the software would be out in days and not weeks

 

I know there are new policies in place, but the company is asking us to trust them.

In February, there were comments made that 8207.27 would be out in March

That did not happen

We were told that there would a letter going out to the customers before the end of the week

that did not happen

We were told that this would be in days and not weeks.

We are waiting to see how that turns out.

We too are waiting for the 8207 features for a dozen of our systems.

Come Wednesday, the days not weeks will become weeks

We will see, but based on the past February, March, and April comments, I am not holding my breath

[David Hall 5]

The letter from Tibco on the new download process has been sent out

for 8207 software, one will need to go to the Tibco edelivery page to download it

The software is available now to download, However

Contacts at your company who are active in Customer Support and have utilized the ibi Download site, will receive an email within the next few days, which will initiate the registration process and facilitate access to the eDelivery site.

So, it looks like it will be a few days before any WebFOCUS user can begin the registration process and get access to the eDelivery site to download the software

[Warren Hinchliffe]

Yes, got it too.

This line scares the willies out of me.

 

In addition, it is expected that the latest TIBCO WebFOCUS 8.2.06 release will be available on the TIBCO eDelivery site within the next 60-90 days.

 

Hoping 8207.27 is there this week.

[Warren Hinchliffe]

The 8207.27 release notes are available.

Doesnt say much about the new stuff ( ), but lots of fixes ( ) and lots of TIBCO stuff ( )

[Toby Mills]

Looks like one of mine was addressed.

 

WebFOCUS fails to startup when the Repository is down for maintenance. Should have a way to configure the number of Repository reconnect attempts and interval between attempts. (200421085)

 

I need to read up on the process of installing. not sure that I want to take on anything new right now though. I do like the look of the cluster monitoring thats described in the WFRS new features. Thatll be handy if it works.

Hope they fix the docs / product when you look at Cluster Managers properties. Ive opened a case about this. Theres a JIRA in the works to fix up the docs to reflect what the product does now. Just dont be surprised if the docs dont match the product for now (as of 8207.26).

[Warren Hinchliffe]

Absolutely agree.

Taking the whole thing with a grain of salt (or two)
