Date: 10/9/2000 Requirement #: WAVV200037
(Short description of what you want the
product changed to - include keywords like function, short product name)
Statement of
the Problem : (What? Detailed description of what you want
changed, 400 char.limit)
We've got EPIC/VSE (from CA;
soon to be BIM). We need EPIC/CMS as
well. We don't want to get it from
CA.
If this is not possible, how about some kind of
rudimentary open protection and EPIC catalog access from CMS?
Benefit : (Why? Non-technical business
case description, i.e a business case. Do not reword problem statement
above. How do you to justify the needed
change? Wwill itrequest
benefit the submitter’s your company, and the vendor
and others? Business case
and benefits to users and vendor which can to
justify the needed change?. Quantify: run time, dollars, manpower, etc. Also, wWhy
should is it important
for vendor to want to do this for their
customer?s)
In a mixed VM/VSE environment, tape management
is required on both platforms in order to completely protect all tapes within
the shop. Obviously, a shared tape
catalog would be best. EPIC/VSE and
EPIC/CMS work well together. We should
be able to get both of them from a vendor that will continue to support and
enhance them. (Do you really think CA
will upgrade EPIC/CMS for z/VM?)
Date : (When? ASAP, 6 months, one year from now, etc)
ASAP
Impact : (How? How will your company’s business be affected
if a solution is not delivered.)
Operators will continue to periodically create
VM tapes on unexpired VSE tapes. At
some point, they'll end up writing over something critical which will be
expensive to recover.
Solution : (optional desired / undesired elements Note: suggest can limit vendor ability to deliver a solution)
(Maybe BIM could just acquire EPIC/CMS from
CA?)
Classification : (Suggestion=Nice Idea, Long
Range=Future, Tactical=ASAP, or Acceptability=I won’t buy the product
or will drop the product if solution not provided)
