252.0. "brs 1.4 + DW 1.2-4 ..." by CANOVA::CALDONI () Mon Mar 24 1997 22:18

Hello,

I'm about to install BRS 1.4 on a workstation with already installed
DEcwindiws Motif 1.2-4, UCX 4.1 and PCM 1.6 ECO 4. Should I downgrade
to the lower versions of the above software, that is tho the versions
stated in the BRS install procedure?

Thanks, tano

    I didn't. But I had to modify the BRSINSTAL.COM procedure to reflect
    the more recent versions.

Yes, I know I have to modify BRSINSTAL, but is BRS supported on the latest
versione and ECO patches of the prerequisite software?
252.3Don't knowSNOFS1::CHURCHILLJWed Mar 26 1997 10:4115
    Sorry, can't offer guarantees but I'm sure many BRS sites are using
    more recent versions of layered products than what BRS says it
    officially supports. I'm not in a capacity to say anything official on
    this so I'll let the experts have their say.
    
    What may be more interesting is when OpenVMS 7.1 sites start using CA
    supplied POLYCENTER releases. Is there anything going to be announced
    on the ongoing and future support of BRS with more recent releases of
    OpenVMS and the layered products? Or is BRS being phased out and
    replaced by something else? Or will it be left to CA-Unicenter TNG to
    gradually phase in the same features for cluster monitoring and
    management? Somehow I doubt that. I suppose the ideal in a mixed system
    environment would be to use the TNG SDK to hook into any of our future
    home grown modules for managing the cluster(s) and have the best of
    both worlds.
