I received the following from IBM/Tivoli/BigFix regarding native language fixlets and need to know if native language fixlets not noted in the bulletin are affected too, and will they continue to be issued? Languages like Russian, Polish, Korean, Traditional Chinese. We have all of these language OS’ in service, and BigFix’ native language support was one main factor in our purchase of it as a solution.
Thanks,
IBM is pleased to announce an upcoming update to the Tivoli Endpoint Manager Updates for Windows Applications content stream. All of the fixlets in this content stream will be updated on Tuesday March 29th, 2011 in order to provide internationalization support for French, Italian, German, Spanish, Chinese Simplified, and Japanese. This change is being pre-announced because it will affect users of the currently separate fixlets for applications in French. These fixlets will be disabled on Friday, April 29th, 2011 in favor of the more complete international Fixlets.
These new international Fixlets replace the currently English only Updates for Windows Applications Fixlets. All language support is consolidated into one Fixlet per product to increase performance and usability. Because French updates were supported by separate Fixlets in the past, there will be an overlap period for French users of one month. French users will see both international versions and French versions of relevant Fixlets in the console from Tuesday March 29th, 2011 until the French Fixlets are retired on Friday, April 29th, 2011.
