Hi,

We are currently running Oracle Applications 11.0.3 under AIX 4.3.3.
This version of OA is not supported to run under 5L and as we really
don't wish to upgrade to OA 11i, the annoucement of the end of support
AIX 4.3.3 by IBM is pretty much of a very bad news to us.
Does anyone know of any company that would offer an alternative ES
support for AIX 4.3.3 ?

Contact your BP, or IBM representative, I have heart there is a way to
contract a special support for AIX V4.3.3 after 12/03.

I thought 4.3.3 was EOLed on 31/12/03.

Does end of support for 4.3.3 mean IBM will not talk to us or does it mean
they will not create any more fixes for us? if an existing issue has a fix
available will they not simply direct us to that fix? Maybe someone has a
good definition of what "end of support" or "End of life" means if we are on
one of these revs?

I know people still on 3.2.5 and everything is hunky dorey

thanks!

Contact IBM. We have bought extended support for 4.3.3.

Of course, you have to pay their prices

End of support means they will not produce new fixes unless you have
paid for an extended support contract. They will however direct you to
a fix if you have a known problem, but they will not pursue a new
'bug' unless you have paid for the extended support.

No other company can offer the extended support as IBM wil not make
their code freely available for other companies to fix. See the
ongoing SCO v IBM battle.
