Lenn Thompson (CA) :
@John Good morning! Thanks for joining us. What questions do you have for our CA7 team?
John Costello :
Nothing specific unfortunatley. I wanted to see what the Office Hours was all about and see if I could help answer any questions
Pavel :
good morning
Lenn Thompson (CA) :
@John Okay, great. Thanks for joining us then. Not sure how many customers we'll get in this first session of the new year, but I appreciate you coming!
Lenn Thompson (CA) :
@John I'd also invite you to take part in our CA 7 product survey, which will provide product feedbcak directly to not only the product management team, but also executive management. The URL is https://survey.medallia.com/?product-communities&product=CA%20Workload%20Automation%20CA%207%20Edition
John Costello :
I will - thank you. This is my first Office visit with CA, although I have been working with your product for several years
Lenn Thompson (CA) :
@John We're glad to have you!
Pavel :
is WAAE covered here?
Lenn Thompson (CA) :
@Pavel This is the CA7 session. We'll focus on AE next month.
Pavel :
- cool.
John Costello :
I apologize for not having any questions prepared for you and your team today. Is there anything new that we should be aware of
Marysue Redd :
@John Have you checked out the new release of CA 7--r12.0?
John Costello :
no I haven't - We use Workload Automation ESP Edition. Are the two products very different in nature?
Marysue Redd :
@John The products are very different in many ways, but both are scheduling products
Lenn Thompson (CA) :
@John I'll let the team answer that question, but I'll invite you to the ESP office hours on February 25 https://communities.ca.com/events/2496
John Costello :
Thanks Lenn - I tagged that date on my calendar. I will make sure I have a question or two ready.
Lenn Thompson (CA) :
@John Great. Will be great to have you there!
John Costello :
until then, have a great day
Dave :
Will Event Management still be supported?
renate edwards :
is it over?
Lenn Thompson (CA) :
@Renate Nope! Do you have some questions for the team?
renate edwards :
not so much. (I had problems with webex).
renate edwards :
we are working on the installation on Ca7 r12
renate edwards :
We had problems with our database but Marysue helped us get that all fixed. Is there anything I can do in our present CA7 to make it cleaner for the move?
Lenn Thompson (CA) :
@Renate Have you seen the CA 7 product survey announcement? I'm sure the product and executive management teams would love your feedback: https://communities.ca.com/community/ca-workload-automation/blog/2015/12/15/tell-us-what-you-think-about-ca-workload-automation-ca-7-edition
renate edwards :
I just finished it this morning. I had gotten the first invite but whatever the url was our firewall wouldn't let me do it but when I got the invite yesterday or today it let me in that way
Roderick Woods :
@dave what event management compoenent are you using with CA 7?
Marysue Redd :
@Renate HI! The most important is that the 11.3 database be clean and I think we got that...you've been testing r12, correct?
renate edwards :
They didn't have any questions about the communities though
Marysue Redd :
@Renate I saw that (your post)...maybe just because it is right after the holidays and first of year--people want a little 'breathing' time before they jump into new projects? IDK
renate edwards :
yes we have r12 up and I've been going through the screens. We haven't tried to run a batch yet because we have to work with another team to make sure we can run a batch through our test system
Marysue Redd :
@Renate Be sure to check for maintenance to r12 frequently...have had some fixes lately and I know SE is working on at least one HYPER for r12...so check out what is available, for sure.
renate edwards :
- no answers *g My boss wants me to write up my responsibilities and job title becaue ours is ANTIQUATED
renate edwards :
I will tell Rena. She is doing the system part of the install and I'm doing the checking part in CA7
Marysue Redd :
@Renate I think you should have a really impressive title :-)
renate edwards :
@marysue *g thanks
renate edwards :
I haven't seen much on the communities about others working on R12. Are there a lot that are or are we the first wave
renate edwards :
oh and @Rodney... thanks for your help last year and you too @Marysue.
Roderick Woods :
@renate sure... I always happy to assist you
Marysue Redd :
@Renate You are very welcome..we REALLY appreciate your involvement. Can't make the product better without input and your's is highly valued
Roderick Woods :
@Renate thanks for the great comments.. please say more :-)
renate edwards :
- I wanted to come to the last world but it just wasn't possible.
Roderick Woods :
@Renate ... of course and I am kidding.. but thanks!!1
renate edwards :
@Rodney I knew.. You have a very healthy attitude and I wouldn't have it any other way.
renate edwards :
I'm pretty outspoken... if I had problems "YOU" would know. *giggle
renate edwards :
I do have a question... is it important to delete unused datasets ca7?
Marysue Redd :
@Renate not terribly important to how 7 runs, but to reclaim space in the SASDS and IDS it could be important
Marysue Redd :
@Renate and the database conversion to r12 could be faster if fewer entities
renate edwards :
- ok.. we have a "butt' load of them. Everytime a new release comes out they change the dataset names. The release is part of the name
Lenn Thompson (CA) :
Looks like we have about 5 minutes left in today's session. Any other questions, Renate?
renate edwards :
- no... I'm sorry more people didn't show up.
Lenn Thompson (CA) :
@Renate Oh that's okay. First one of the year is always iffy. I appreciate you joining us. I hope you find it helpful when you can make it1
renate edwards :
I do... I try to make all of them (in workload automation) just for support.. but unless I'm sick I will always be here for CA7
Lenn Thompson (CA) :
@Renate Thanks!
