But when we have a CA-11/Datacom problem, I expect we'll call CA just like we do for Dispatch/IDMS problems. The Dispatch support has always been very good in this respect, but I almost never make a move when there are IDMS issues without consulting with them first. I hope this works as well with Datacom. We used to run another CA product that used a mini Datacom - a report balancing package called APCDDS (IIRC). I don't recall any "Datacom" issues while running that package. As far as replacement products... Practically every shops I've ever been at used CA-11. Do some of these other products support 24 x 7 operations with their packages, or do jobs/inits have to be stopped to perform regular maintenance (like CA-11 prior to V3.0)?
