FW: PowerHouse 8.30 on OpenVMS: Call to Beta

[Thompson, Carol]

If you received this twice, my apologies.

>  
> 
> Hello all:
> 
> I am looking for a few PowerHouse OpenVMS customers who are interested and
> have some time to commit to testing, to participate in the PowerHouse 8.30
> Beta test.  The Beta product will be shipped to selected Beta sites in the
> mid-March 2001 timeframe, and the Beta test period will run for about five
> weeks. 
> 
> Participants would be expected to provide feedback on the results of their
> testing to Cognos.  
> 
> Please note that, if selected, the PowerHouse 8.30 Beta product must not
> be used in any way for production systems, as it will not be supported
> beyond the Beta period. 
> 
> While this call to Beta is not limited only to Cognos supported customers,
> please note that only supported OpenVMS customers will automatically
> receive the production level PowerHouse 8.30C when it is available.
> 
> PowerHouse 8.30 contains most of the VMS specific functionality that
> customers use now in PowerHouse 7.10 (POW, PHD, Trusted Mode, Mailbox
> support, VMSTIMESTAMP, etc), along with a few further enhancements. An
> upgrade guide will be provided in the Beta package. 
> 
> The benefit to you as a Beta tester is to jump start the upgrade planning
> and process for PowerHouse 8.30, and the benefit to Cognos is to help us
> ensure that the product meets your functionality and quality expectations.
> 
> If you are interested in test-driving this release, please respond to me
