UNCLASSIFIED

I think there was a Laura Esquibe that worked support. I think this is a
login name of someone who must have passed it on internally. Just a
guess.

I really hate to air "dirty laundry" ... but while we are all in rant
mode...

I know this is just one "incident", but if all the ARSListers were to
list "just one" then I wonder how many we could list?

Note I did not pick this incident due to its relative importance in my
stack. Rather it is just the first _shocking thing_, and also the first
thing I found today.

I think there are also an few interesting implications to this specific
incident. So I think the merit of the content is important and thus I
post it. I just choose to add it to this thread due to the applicability
to the thread as well. ( Maybe a new thread should have been started,
but why do we need more threads? )


Maybe some of you have heard about this too? (This was news to me.)

**** History ****

I created an RFE (SW00254884) as:
"
improve Admin Tool "Related Workflow" tab display performance by adding
indexes to object_search_ref form after sync process.
"

Details:
"
This is an RFE idea...

Development Performance gains can be made by adding two indexes to the
object_search_ref from.
Specifically:
Index one:
  Target Identifier (Field ID 9001)
AND
Index two:
   Target Form (Field ID 9012)

If these indexes could be removed at the beginning of a resync and
re-establish at the end then that would be even better. (But adding them
in general would be a good thing IMHO.) "

I just came across the "response" for this RFE. ( I do not think I
received it in email. And based on who it was addressed to I doubt that
I did see it.)

BMC RFE Response:
"
Hi lesquibe,

The "Related Workflow" tab was deprecated in 7.0 so this should no
longer be an issue. Replacement of this feature is being considered in
the future releases.

Please don't hesitate to contact us should you have further questions on
this RFE.

Thanks,
<Info_removed_to_protect_the_confused /> Product Manager
<Info_removed_to_protect_the_confused />@bmc.com "


My Summary:

1) I have no idea who "lesquibe" is, but I know that is not a name that
I have ever used with Remedy/[EMAIL PROTECTED]@/BMC. ( Maybe a Level 1 Support
person who did not inform me of the response from the "Product Manager"
? )

2) Has anyone else been told that:

    a) "The "Related Workflow" tab was deprecated in 7.0"
OR
    b) That features will be removed (ok.. the feature is there but they
are not going to fix it and I have doubts about its accuracy in
v6.3 much less v7.) and "replacements" will be "considered" sometime in
the future?

3) I also should add that I have no access to know WHEN the
update/status happened on this RFE. All I appear to be able to see is
that the incident was "Resolved at" "11/29/2006 2:27:18 PM" with a
solution code of "Defect Submitted". So it was some time after that, but
when... who knows? And the RFE is status is currently "Resolved"
and classified as "As Designed".
