What's not working fine? How does one answer a vague charge like that? It's like some saying you are immoral -- does that mean you told a white lie so as not embarrass your mother or that you committed murder?

Every FP is tested for a month or more, including 2 weeks of "long runs" in system test, where it has to stay up and run a standard configuration determined by one of the senior test engineers, without a sev 1 or sev2 incident on every platform we support. It has to do discovery, monitoring, collect and store MIB data, run multiple maps and event windows, as well as the web clients. So I can say with confidence that 7.1.4 FP03 was working here on Windows 2003 when we shipped it in April 2005, about 18 months ago. Ditto for FP04, which upgrades the jre to java 1.4.2. Perhaps your sources had difficulty with that upgrade?

But 7.1.4 FP05 is not available yet so they should have no opinion on it yet. No customer has it.

To nv-l AT lists.ca.ibm DOT com cc Subject [NV-L] Tr : NetView v7.1.4 FP3 to FP 5 with Windows compatibility

Hello James and all the Networkers,

We do recently change our OS Windows version : moved from 2000 adv. server to 2003 Standart Edition.

Some of our technical relations told us that the latter (Windows 2003) is not worthing fine with the NetView v7.1.4 FP3 that we use, or with the FP5 that we are going to install in a near future.

Could you confirm (or discredit) this saying ?

Best regards,

Denis
