  • 1.  Optim Connect 5.3.3 Build 26 vs 5.3.3 Build 53

    Posted Wed November 14, 2018 10:35 AM
    So during my FP6 upgrade testing I've just noticed that quite a few of the Optim connect data source types (providers) are no longer in Optim connect 5.3.3 Build 53. 

    I'm trying to find release notes or a reference to why they've been removed but I'm not able to. I have a ticket open for this but I thought i'd bounce it off you guys as well. I specifically use the ODBC as a Fed pass-through. P.S. it's not a licensing issue as far as I can tell. I have a brand new License with the ODBC provider included. 

    See attached screen capture for a comparison between Build 26 and Build 53.

    Hi Danny,

    I wasn't the Offering Manager on ODM when this happened, but back in about 2015 I believe due to discussions between the vendor provider of the Optim Connect technology (Attunity) and Optim, it was concluded that customers / users should only use Optim Connect to access mainframe data on the one hand, or flat file data on Distributed.

    I believe the removal of those choices is a consequence of that decision.

    And one more point-- although customers may not be entitled to use these features any  longer, and we will not issue new license keys that entitle those features, it is possible that older customers with existing licenses can continue to use them.

    Thanks for confirming this Peter. I suspected that this was the case. I just wanted to get a solid confirmation before I started down a path of re-architecting our mainframe archiving data flow.
