Hi Folks
I need a statement from engineering indicating that when the year 2000
comes that Polycenter Scheduler will function, recognizing the change in the
century. This is the non Unix version that is the version running on OpenVMS.
V2.1b-* and the new 2.2 version.
Will all calendars work?
Will jobs be scheduled correctly?
Will dependencies be honored?
Log file time stamps be entered correctly and honored?
Network synchronization
Remote (AGENTs) recognize this new year.
Thanks
Ed Flannery

For any sort of official statement, you would need to contact Computer
Associates, since there is no longer a "POLYCENTER Product
Engineering" at Digital. There is an effort within Digital I.S. to
qualify the most important software used by DEC-internal for 2000, which
includes Scheduler, so you might ask Lou Marcoccio if he knows who, if
anyone, is going to certify the DECScheduler stuff.
From having worked on Scheduler V2 I can tell you that NSCHED engine
exclusively uses VMS Quadword dates internally, and certainly no 2-digit
decimal string calculations, so it should be immune. I can't
speak for all the little nooks and cranies in the user interface(s) but my
(non-official!) impression is that they should be OK. This is not an
official statement.
