Future Product Removals due to Retirement (October 1998) Product Name Version UPILV All-In-1[TM] Web Inter- 1.0 50CAA face for DIGITAL UNIX DEChub[TM] Consolidated 4.1B 32TAC Firmware DECmigrate[TM] for DEC 1.2 MWNAA OSF/1 AXP Systems DECwindows[TM] SNA 3270 2.1A 30AAA Terminal Emulator ObjectBroker (RT) 2.7 0TTAA ObjectBroker (Dv) 2.7 0TSAA SoftPC/Softwindows 6.0 0HSAA Migration Information for DECmessageQ Digital Equipment is a distributor for BEA Systems BEA MessageQ, the successor product to DIGITAL DECmessageQ, and will continue to sell, distribute and support MessageQ on DIGITAL platforms, including OpenVMS[TM] (Alpha[TM] and VAX[TM]), DIGITAL UNIX, and Windows NT[R] Alpha, along with other vendor platforms, as part of a multi-year agreement between DIGITAL and BEA Systems. Effective 30 April 1998, DIGITAL will be distributing BEA Mes- sageQ using BEA Systems license terms and conditions, and will be providing BEA-manufactured software binaries and documenta- tion. The former product, DIGITAL DECmessageQ, is being retired, as per contract terms, and BEA MessageQ is being provided as a successor product. Also as part of this transition, we will no longer be distribut- ing DECmessageQ/BEA MessageQ V3.2, but moving our current re- lease level to V4.0A, as none of the V3.x DECmessageQ releases are Y2K ready, and the V4.0 releases have been tested and found Y2K ready by BEA Systems engineering. As the BEA-provided product does not support DIGITAL License Management Facility (LMF), and therefore is not eligible for in- clusion in the Software Product Libraries (SPL), we will only be offering Individual Product Offerings (IPO) kits, using a CD-ROM media type. Customers who wish to purchase the BEA MessageQ product can continue to order the IPO via the normal DIGITAL or- dering channels, and orders will be fufilled by DIGITAL Software Supply Business (SSB). DIGITAL Multivendor Customer Services (MCS) continues to provide first and second-tier support services for MessageQ, and cus- tomers with existing support contracts will continue to receive support as they did with DIGITAL DECmessageQ. IMPORTANT YEAR 2000 INFORMATION Some of the products on the Software Product Library may not be Y2K ready, or their Y2K status may be unknown at this time. The following section identifies those products and provides information on planned actions. 2 Products with Planned Updates for Y2K Please be advised that the currently shipping versions of the following products are not Y2K ready.
