OSF'ers,
                  please can you help on the following questions. I'm becoming totally hacked off and need some sort of re-assurance that I'm not ALONE............................

Are there any of you out there using Computer Associates Polycentre Performance Advisor and Data Collector?

We were it successfully using it under DU3.2d and g. We moved up to Digital Unix V4.0b and from that point on we have nothing! NO PRODUCT!!!!!!!!!

The data collector does not work under v4.0 and CA have been promising the availability of the product for six months and have missed delivery three times now. They have not been able to provide a patch either!!!

We still have no product.!!!!!

Does this scenario seem familiar? Are you waiting for the vapour ware? Please can you let me know!

Has anyone actually seen or used the alleged and ellusive Beta release?

Is there a patch to get the 3.2 version running under 4.0....

We have tried to get information as to what is happening and are getting NOTHING! Zero! Zilch!

I have asked them to release the Beta copy of the product to tide us over however this seem to be a similar to asking Queen Elizabeth for the crown jewels for the weekend!!!!!!! Has anyone actually Beta tested the Product???

We are also starting to get the "new money for old rope story" from our account manager. They seem to be hinting that the UNICENTER equivalent of the Polycentre product may be available sooner and that we will have to part with even more money!!!

Please if you have had any similiar sort of problems or dealings I would like to know. I need to get this resolved ASAP...........!


Wishing you all a happy New Year.

Regards from Scotland
