    You missed a few.

     

    Vcenter 6.0 support for VCAIM

     

    Don't destroy formattings of the Spectrum EventDisp and CsEvFormat files after modifications with the Event Configurator

     

    CA Spectrum SNMP Profile Management

     

    Display the conflicts when the catalogs are not in sync

     

    Locater change: Searches saved on SS instead of OC

     

    Supporting NCM on SDC

     

    In addition, there are quite a few ideas that are listed as under review that have been in that state for months without any updates.  Some of them are 3 or 4 years old with 50 or more votes.  What is the point of submitting enhancement requests?

    You know, I just read the list again and saw that you marked web based spectrum as delivered.  I think you and I already talked about how that isn't even close.  The current web client is a nice start and is a very functional alarm panel, but it doesn't offer topology views, maintenance mode, editing devices, editing global collections, viewing non-alarm events, etc.

    Hello mwegner,

     

    Looks like there is some confusion. We agreed to keep this idea open instead. Web view of topology

     

    And I see the conversation you asked this idea to be open and continue tracking. Let me know if I am missing anything.

     

    Thanks,

    Nagesh

    You are correct, I was thinking of that idea.
