CN-LSF90x-20120330 Reg Updates not Avail unless you are current

Thank you for bring this to our attention. That is a short notice, however, I think that we will be able to comply since the installation and testing effort is not as large as it would be for an MSP.

I can see where this will cause issues from some organizations due to the short notice. It is effectively a 9 month decommission notice for an environment release since the regulatory updates are required.

Some would say that an ESP requires even more testing than an MSP. (Since it affects the entire environment.) We've been burned in the past by doing too little testing of an ESP.

Some would say that having started an upgrade project and picked the releases prior to 9 being avialble, it is not reasonable to be told now that we have to start over.

Do we have any recourse with lawson? I told the GSC person to upchannel my complaint to the GSC mgr and he said that he would, but that will most likley not do anything.

Since our testing window is Feb - May and new ESP's come out in May and Oct...Come W2 time, we will always be 2 ESP's behind!

Voicing your concerns to your sales executive may help.  If you are attending Inforum, you could discuss with Infor/Lawson leaders. 

Just so you know that you are not alone, Beverly. Our testing window is Feb - May as well!

Ours is the same. We are evaulating the available releases in Feb, install in test or dev in March, testing in April and May, prod update in June.

Get ready folks. How many companies have one of these?

Infor has not historically allowed customers to rest on their laurels.
They want to be cutting edge. I would be surprised if there is not a
serious push to move everyone to Infor 10 before the stated 2017 deadline.

I've talked to my account rep and they have revised the critical notice (CN-LSF90x-20120330-01 (updated April 30, 2012). While the new notice does NOT mention reg updates or anything of the like, it pertains to a critical patch for ibm folks. I do not see the relation and would have preferred that they rescind the original notice, but they assure me that the announcement # is the same, so the new notice REPLACES the prior one...so apparently we are o.k. and can still get the reg updates even though we are behind in our MSP and ESP's... yea! yea! yea! yea!

I think that we are adopting the STAY with what is stable approach for now...hanging out with 9015 & 9017 possibly until we upgrade to Infor 10 if we can hold out that long!!

Beverly, I had just scheduled the current ESP for application to our test environment for next week, but I have now canceled it.

Thanks for the update!
