250.0. "DDD 6.1 Installation Guide?" by M5::DMACKENZ () Wed Nov 13 1996 18:13

    Is DDD (Replication Option) 6.1 officially out?
    
    I have a customer who is planning on installing it but doesn't have
    the install guide.
    
    Can someone provide a pointer to a 6.1 installation guide?
    
    Thanks,

250.1It's almost readyBROKE::PROTEAUJean-Claude ProteauThu Nov 14 1996 08:525
    
    Replication Option version 7.0 will be available very soon (this is the
    same product as was once called DEC Data Distribuor version 6.1 -- it
    was renumbered when we became part of Oracle).  By very soon I mean a
    matter of weeks.  Stay tuned.

    The customer called again and came through to me.
    
    It seems that he has an old field test kit (DDAL061), possible not even
    an official field test.
    
    They have been developing with it and now want to put it into
    production!

250.3Is there a problem?BROKE::PROTEAUJean-Claude ProteauThu Nov 14 1996 10:1110
    Peter,
    
    Apart from the fact tat our final kits have not yet been released, is
    there some other problem?  DDAL 6.1 field test is still officially not
    over until we release the product.  As I said, the product version
    number has been changed to version 7.0, so there will not be a version
    6.1 release per se.  The numbering change was simply to align our
    release with the Rdb 7.0 release.

250.4Install Guide & Support IssueM5::DMACKENZThu Nov 14 1996 11:2913
    Claude,
    
    There is no technical problem reported with DDAL 6.1.  
    
    The customer is looking for the installation guide.  It is not
    contained in the kit savesets.  I'm assuming the the 7.0 installation
    guide will give him exactly what he needs.  Correct me if I'm wrong.
    
    Also, he wants something in writing from Oracle stating that this is
    a field test release, not support, etc.  Do we have a letter of this
    type of field test versions?

250.5What and when and whereBROKE::PROTEAUJean-Claude ProteauThu Nov 14 1996 11:5915
    I just sent the customer a FAX explaining that:
    
    1) DDD 6.1 is logically equivalent to ROR 7.0.  The product was renamed
       and renumbered when we became a part of Oracle corporation.
    
    2) DDD 6.1 is a field test version and as such is not supported in a
       production enviroment.  We are at the end of the development cycle
       for ROR 7.0 and anticipate shipping the product to manufacturing in
       a few weeks.
    
    3) The installation guide for the most recent field test kit is in the
       ftp kit area along with the save sets.  One of the replies to the
       early notes (8.last?) should give you a pointer.
