SEP 12.1 RU1...when?

[reza akhlaghy]

Hi

By releasing SEP 11.0 RU7 MP1 things are getting more confusing in terms of upgrade. Since it was not possible to upgrade from 11.0 RU7 to 12.1 and we need to wait for 12.1 RU1, what will happen by the release of this new version? Should we wait until 12.1 RU2?!

And, is there any timeline for release of this looooooong-awaited RU1?

[pete]

what will happen by the release of this new version? Should we wait until 12.1 RU2?!

its becuase of the DB schema we were not allowed to upgrade from SEP 11 Ru 7 to SEP 12.1, with SEP 11 RU7 Mp1 out we should be able to upgrade to SEP 12.1 Ru 1( whatever it's called the nest versio of SEP 12.1).

 

And have heard that it will be out in coming month/s.

[Chetan Savade]

Yes, I believe SEP 12.1 RU1 is scheduled for Nov'11.

[Migration User]

Any indications on fixes/changes in RU1 other than upgrades supported from RU7? Just wondering if I should stop my own 12.1 rollout or not and wait.

[pete]

did you encounter any issue with current rollout?

if not, you may go ahead with rollout.

[Migration User]

the fixes will be introduced once released but yes there are some known issue in 12.1 which are possibly fixed in mp1

[Chetan Savade]

Hi,

Are you waiting for specific fix in SEP 12.1 RU1 ?

Some known issues are reported in SEP 12.1, 

Check the following articles, most probably all these issue would be addressed in SEP 12.1 RU1.

And we may observer few more fix.

Getting IPS error in the client management.

 While  copying\moving user documents to another system\drive,SEP is blocking some file( mostly .exe extension) & gives warning message so that the backup process is interuppted.

[pete]

what is the error message? can you post the screen shot?

[SKP]

Is there any custom IPS signature you have applied?

Hello Paul,

I'm still waiting. Because of Mac Lion I need RU1. Can you tell us a release date?

[Migration User]

Its going to be delayed roughly another week, we found a couple of issues during our external beta test.  We are fixing those before shipping.

[Migration User]

Do we have an update on the timeframe?   We are DESPERATE to start installing on Mac 10.7...

Hi,

Paul Murgatroyd has mentioned above " It's going to be delayed roughly another week, we found a couple of issues during our external beta test.  We are fixing those before shipping."

[Migration User]

Sorry, I read that, but missed the date it was posted.

[Migration User]

Is this still slated for this week?  We are trying to plan upgrades for next week (Fall break) and would like to know if we can schedule this if possible.

[pete]

last heard it is due next week

Hi Chetan

I was going through the release notes but could not find any output on Cisco VPN Connectivity Issue. I has some discussion with Technical Support guys, they said the FIX will be there in next update.

 

Lets wait for another two days.

[Migration User]

I have a request, and maybe this is the wrong place to put it, but if so let me know and I will put it where it needs to go. Also, if this already exists, then please point me to where it is.

I don't know who thought it was a good idea to go from the way release notes were handled in 11.x to the way they are done in 12.x, but this new way stinks as far as I am concerned. Instead of releasing PDF files and DOCX files, which are harder to find and go through than the old way, I would like to see Symantec put up a web page with release notes/defect fix descrptions, etc., as was done with 11.x

Please see http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=TECH103087&locale=en_US - I would really like to suggest that this type of page be set up for SEP 12.x. This is much easier and nicer and it keeps everything in one easily accessible page for reference.

Thank you for your consideration.

Hi,

You can start new forum discussion for same.

Thank you. New discussion created.

Dear M.C.

I think a better way to get this noticed is to create an Idea. This seam to be the way to notify Symantec of desired changes for their products. Bonus of that is that it can be voted on (& you'll get mine).

Just downloaded SEP 12.1 RU1 from FileConnect

[Migration User]

Was having issues with 12.1 to connect to a Linux server, But it works great with 12.1 RU 1

[Migration User]

M.C. you can get the release notes as HTML here: http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH174565

[postechgeek]

I'm still not seeing RU1 on file connect. I see 12.1 from June. Any ideas why?

 

Thanks,

Mike

[Migration User]

OK. I have created an "idea" for this. When it is approved, you should be able to see https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/ideas/release-notes-change-sep-121 with the request.

Thanks for the suggestion!

[Srikanth_Subra]

in my file connect it is showing 12.1 RU1 part 1 and part 2 exe? what is that means? i do know which one to download?

[pete]

part1 is exe and the part 2 is tools and documents.

[Srikanth_Subra]

So Which one i need to download? Part 1 is OK?

[pete]

yep, part 1 for upgrade/install. However documents are also important :-)

[ℬrίαη]

Download both and run each exe. It will extract the contents.
