We're headed toward an upgrade to 7.5.2 on a Solaris 10 (SPARC) server. 
However, we have a number of Solaris 8 Oracle server clients. Given that 
Solaris 8 is not officially supported by Networker 7.5+, and given that 
we'll have these Solaris 8 clients for a while (application dependencies 
on specific OS releases, etc.), we're almost certainly going to end up 
with some kind of hybrid environment for at least a while. We're looking 
at 7.5.2 for two reasons: 1) It is, or soon will be, the newest 
Sun-branded EBS release (which we use) and 2) it fixes the 'savepnpc' 
multiple-run issue, which would be a show stopper for us since we use 
savepnpc to cycle apps / databases.

The way I see it, until all our Sol 8 systems are upgraded, we have a few 
choices against a 7.5.2 server:

1. Keep the current (7.2) client
2. Try the 7.5.2 client
3. Try an interim client from 7.[34]x

Once again, in particular we're interested in whether or not savepnpc 
exhibits the 'run multiple times' problem seen in 7.5.1 in any of these 
scenarios (plus, obviously that everything else works as expected :-)

We're certainly going to test all we can, but it would be hugely helpful 
if anyone has worked through this before and has (even empirical) 
knowledge of what works and what doesn't. I'm aware that "unsupported" 
doesn't necessarily imply "won't work" but rather just "you're on your 
own".

Thanks!
