I'm glad that BMC is taking more time to throughly test the product. This will cut down on fustrations when trying to implement it.
Thank you for the update. Ben Cantatore Remedy Administrator Avon (914) 935-2946 "Easter, David" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent by: "Action Request System discussion list(ARSList)" <[email protected]> 08/09/2007 08:40 PM Please respond to [email protected] To [email protected] cc Subject AR System 7.1.00 delayed until end of August / early September ** All, BMC has decided that more time is needed to ensure the quality of AR System prior to release. Based on the tests that need to be completed to verify AR System's quality in an enterprise environment consisting of highly available architectures and multiple BMC Products, the management team has extended the delivery date by several weeks. We hope to make it available on the web for download (a.k.a. Web GA) no later than August 31st, 2007. The physical GA date for AR System will then be Friday September 7th, 2007. Because this extension is being used only to perform further testing, the feature set has become solid enough that I have been granted permission to share the ?What?s New? document that contains details on the new features found in AR System 7.1.00. This document can be found on the new BMC Developer?s Network at: http://developer.bmc.com/jiveProd/entry.jspa?categoryID=501&externalID=1926 Here?s the quick bulleted list of features: Enterprise features Customer-driven license enforcement system Server security attack prevention Mid-tier security attack prevention for Tomcat installations Forcing and allowing password changes Web client IP address logging Safari browser support BMC Remedy Mid Tier performance (persistent cache) Prefetching specified forms Web services enhancements Multiple escalation pools HTTP tracing in the mid tier Broadened operating system support for Full Text Search on UNIX and Linux Server features Java plug-in server and plug-in API Updated AR System Java API Filter error handling Multiple Field API Calls Store database views with schema definitions Service workflow condition and active link action Disable status history recording and retrieval Simplified System Form Handling IBM DB2 9.1 support HP-UX 11i v3 support Novell SuSE Enterprise Linux support Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 AS/ES support Enhanced support for Mozilla Firefox 2.0 support Enhanced support for Microsoft Internet Explorer 7.0 support Client features BMC Remedy AR System Administration Console Data visualization field updates Results color in tree fields Page holder enhancements Ability to change labels for navigation bars Locale-aware table fields Customizable background color on rows Table refresh on interval Automatic maximizing of windows on target location for web clients Usability features Displaying version information Pop-up blockers Wait cursor Context (right-click) menus Rounded corner option for trim boxes BMC Remedy Migrator features Enhancements to Differences report Enhancements to Results report Ignore Prefix option Packaged view migrations (ability to migrate a specific view and its fields) Option to keep or delete dependency and database files Of most interest to customers will be the first bullet - the ?Customer-driven license enforcement system?. Here?s some more info on that from the What?s New document: ?Unlike previous versions, AR System 7.1.00 does not use license keys to enforce limits for any license types except AR Server licenses. Instead, customers must self enforce limits for all other AR System and application license types, such as AR User Fixed, BMC Remedy AR FTS Fixed, BMC:Asset Mgmt Application, and BMC:Change Mgmt User Floating. Regardless of the type or number of licenses purchased by a customer, AR System 7.1.00 administrators can add an unlimited number of most licenses to their systems through the Add or Remove Licenses link in the AR System Administration Console. Using this link, administrators can also modify and remove licenses whenever necessary. This enables them to meet users? AR System licensing needs immediately without waiting for BMC Software to provide a key.? I?m sure this will generate a lot of questions and I will endeavor to answer what I can on this forum both during this pre-release phase and once the product is released. This topic will also be covered in a focused presentation at BMC UserWorld. In addition, I will post a second message right after this one that has an extensive FAQ. I appreciate our customer?s continued patience in releasing this new product and look forward to answering questions and gathering feedback on this new version of AR System. Thanks, David J.
