Many of you have already contributed your time during the research and design phases. Thank you!

Hi

How did the beta go? Is there a way for us to know a little bit more about it? Our customer is excited to have an opportunity to explore this option if and when it becomes available.

Thanks!

Hi Liz

Based on the dates above, I thought the beta ended on October 14. Is this not the case? I don’t think we’d be able to get in on it anyway, as we’re still on v9.2.7.53, but I do want to know more about it. What do you suggest?

Thanks!

Josh

Hey Josh - The feedback we received by October 14th will be considered for GA. We are continously getting feedback for post GA consideration. I could set up a time with you this week to walk thru what we’re working on for GA. Could you please send me an email at ethi@us.ibm.com so I have your email address for the invite?

Thanks!
