TeamSite 7.0.....

So is this Beta ? The only thing on the site said email support to see if they will let you download.

Possibly, seems like Autonomy is changing the release process. They did the same thing with TeamSite Search 3.1.

Yes follow the procedures and Support will mail you the link for download. Kind of secure process from Autonomy.

Thanks

Has anyone actually installed TS 7.0? Inital reviews? I've been waiting on my links from the product team for almost a week.

No reply for my request either

No reply for me either. I put my request in a week ago from monday, got an email that same day saying i'd be contacted by someone from the "product management team" and "soon". I replied back yesterday asking what the status was and have not heard back since. I also asked our sales rep and she said she'd check into it. Right now I'm considering it vaporware and that they probably are just trying to raise some buzz for themselves.

Well at least we're on common ground. Maybe the download offer was just a ploy to make the release date before end of Q3.

Same here - I'm going to ping them again...

7.0 does exist. Heard about it a month ago at training in Santa Clara. Mostly ContentCenter UI changes from what I remember, nothing too drastic.

I heard that the install options have changed a bit, so you need to pay attention while installing, which pretty much goes without saying..

Also heard it's officially available in Q4, so maybe tomorrow the restrictions will be lifted. We're working on getting an answer from Autonomy too as we got the go ahead to upgrade a week ago. Being a complete noob to TeamSite, I probably can't appreciate the upgrade but if we get upgraded next week I'll be sure to post some details.

FYI - I just spoke to someone in Support - who indicated that he believes that 7.0 is not actually yet ready. I've asked him to contact someone internally to make an official post on DevNet regarding the status of 7.0.

I have some more information that was told to me. Apparently, Autonomy needs to or at least wants to install this release (at the moment). We have someone from Autonomy coming out on Monday or Tuesday to install 7.0 for us, I'll ask him for more details behind this approach.

Has anyone heard back about the teamsite 7.0 release yet?

It's in "early adopter program" mode. Only Autonomy engineers are installing it to certain customers. We are having some small issues with the installer and configuring it to run with SQL 2008. All these install/config notes go back up to Autonomy engineers to make the install process better for the final release.

So a general DL may not be available for a while.

What they should do is have set up a VM that they can put on a DVD, with everything preinstalled (and a 60 day license) and let people load some content/customizations on to it.

That would work for Linux/DOS and you should be able to do something similar for Solaris.

From what I'm told, there is NOTHING drastically different about the underlying product, there is a lot of Content Center UI changes and the install process is undergoing a radical streamlining.

A DVD or DL of a VM installation would be of no use to Interwoven and ultimately us as they are using "early adopters" to flush out the product/process/documentation. So what they "should" do is continue what they are doing and NOT switch gears into a method that would yield them zero feedback about installation and configuration issues.

I beg to differ. Yes they will not catch install errors and miss some config errors. However, in my 10 years following TS. I have never seen a major release where NOTHING drastic changed under the covers. The GUI is (reportedly) all new that needs to be tested and not by enough companies for an SE or consultant to get out to install but by a larger portion of users.

Yes, a full install needs to be beta tested. But that should not required being close enough to an SE with time on his hands to go install.

This point is moot, IWOV will not be making that kind of change for this and I doubt Sunil will do it for TeamSite 8. Still if the customers ask and they see the business benefit, they may.

FYI - from the release notes ...

Eventually I'll be able to get my hands on it ... I hope.(I filed a case against the release notes - they no longer include the IDs for bug and feature requests - making the listing of fixed bugs and "known issues" a lot less useful for customers/consultants who have been trying to track such things - sigh)

[QUOTE=ghoti]FYI - from the release notes ...

Where'd you see the release notes at? Just curious. *** Nevermind I found it ***Also I've been tempted to file a case as well on the release notes issue. I have a couple bugs logged and was given a bug id so I could track it in the release notes...well, kind of pointless now since the release notes no longer contain that id. Seems like taking a few steps back.
