Subject: RE: CAZ????? modules
IMHO, the new "kid" on the block -- this 'CAZ' product from IBM --
ought
to choose a component ID that doesn't conflict with an *extremely*
popular product from CA with a decades long history and many thousands
of happy customers; probably including IBM themselves...
I would certainly agree with that sentiment. My (somewhat terse) earlier
post was not intended otherwise, but on re-reading it could be
interpreted that way.
There are quite a few examples of other ISV products that have been
"grandfathered" into the IBM namespace - our own BB* stuff for example.
However, IBM provides a registry for these things and as far as I know,
they will not assign an internal TLA that conflicts with a registered
ISV product - even if that product is in the IBM namespace.
Chris has stumbled uncontrollably into the truth. IBM is aware of this
issue and is working on a resolution. CAZ was not registered, therefore IBM
was unaware of its existence. So it's just one of those thangs.

Tom Conley
