Latest news

• Together 6.0:
  Despite some rumours, TogetherSoft sent a renewal for the academic license of Together 6 for one more year. Installation and tests are on the way. Version 6 is not yet in production but it will be before the end of June. (The current license of Together 5.5 will expire on 30 June 2002). Together users who are on a hurry can already ask us for the new license.
  
  
• Sniff 4.0.1:
  has been installed but not put in production because the migration process is complicated. Volunteers have to contact us so that we will describe on the web a complete process to follow. A first draft of the migration process is already accessible on this page: http://sdt.cern.ch/Sniff/Problems.html. The documentation of Sniff 4.0.1 is already accessible at the end of the Doc page. The default version stays in 3.2 for the moment.
  
  
• Software Through Picture (STP):
  will be stopped and taken out of production this summer. STP has not been maintained for almost 2 years. STP users have to extract everything they need from the database. The new tools replacing this one are Rose (Rational) and Together (TogetherSoft).
  
  
• NFS service :
  on the SDT server "pttools" is planned to be stopped this summer. NFS mount points have to be replaced by another solution e.g. AFS links. Users with machines that are not using AFS should contact us for discussion.
