• 08-Sep-2000 - News from Durwin Wright of the OpenROAD Development Department:

  1. You will be able to migrate from OR 3.5 to OR 4.0 or OR 4.1.  The migration effort will be identical for OR 4.0 and OR 4.1.  OR 3.5 image files are not compatible with OR 4.x.  OR 4.0 image files are compatible with OR 4.1.  OR 4.1 image files are not compatible with OR 4.0.
  2. The OR 4.1 HP-UX 10.20 port is complete.  We will be building the HP-UX 11.0 version very shortly.  I will be soliciting people for the beta program within a month.
  3. The OR 4.1 Solaris (2.6, 2.7 and 8.0) version is nearing completion.  We will be solicitiing people for the beta program within a month.
  4. The OR 4.1 AIX (4.3) is being ported.  The AIX port is running about two to four weeks behind the other ports.
  5. OR 4.1 on Windows, HP-UX, Solaris and AIX appear to have identical functionality. They are being built from the same source code line.  The core OR 4.1 functionality and the OpenROAD Application Server have been ported.  We can now communicate from any OR 4.1 client on any platform to any OR 4.1 Application Server on any platform. (One very curious configuration is: WNT->IIS->ASP->DCOM->HPUX->ORAPPSVR->INGRES.)
  
  We are being very strict about participation in the Pre-Beta and Beta programs. I have very specific goals that I want to achieve.
  I am writing a more detailed overview of the OR 4.1 content, platform availability and functionality.
  The existing OpenROAD beta sites have provided me with valuable feedback.
  Please contact your CA representative and have them contact the CA TechWeb Hotline for information on availability dates.
