MII and Plant Connectivity 2.2 Bi-directional Socket Connection

Hi,
I have to send a command to a serial device from within MII via a socket connection to be able to have a respons from the device. I know in Plant Connectivity a socket connector can be setup. But is it also possible to send a message from MII to the serial device over Plant Connectivity, because it seems that the socket can only be setup to trigger notifications based on received messages from sources (and not from destinations). I read this functionality was planned to be build into Plant Connectivity 2.2, but I can't figure out how to set it up?
kind regards,

Hi Bram,
We can set up connection between PCO & MII through "UDC" connector. UDC connector is available in MII through
Data Services --> Data Servers --> New --> UDC and click on "OK" button.
You need to provide all PCO system details like server name, Port number etc and save the connection. Check the status of connectivity through Data Services --> Connection Status.
Go through the URL : http://help.sap.com/saphelp_mii121/helpdata/en/43/e80b59ad40719ae10000000a1553f6/frameset.htm
Navigate to Data Services --> SAP MII Workbench --> Query Template --> Tag Query
Upon successful connection, open SAP MII workbench (Data Services --> SAP MII Workbench) and create a new "Tag Query" template to pull details from PCO.
So far, we pulled information from PCO, manipulated those values in MII and send these values to ERP to create notification. Let us know business scenario on which you need to send back information to PCO from MII.
Thanks

PCo integration with MII and MES

Hi,
How is PCo placed in MII and ME Achitecture. Can PCo directly connects to Shopl floor systems? and how it is connected to MES system. IS this something like Shop floor>PCo->MII->ME->ERP?
Can someone please make me understand?
Thanks,
Raveen

Hi,
as per my knowledge MII helps to interface between MES (if it is installed) and ERP.
if we consider levels then
all the PLCs are in level 1.
all the scada,Historian are in level 2,
MES and database in level 3,
and ERP in level 4.
MII is between level 3 and level 4,
it helps to interface this two level.
as I know PCO can configured with MII. PCO help to create that connectivity between the tag value coming from the scada historian system and MII.

To sync photos from a Mac or Windows PC to your device using photo applications
Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes installed.
In iTunes, select your device's icon in the Devices list on the left.
Click the Photos tab.
Choose "Sync photos from."
On a Mac, choose iPhoto or Aperture from the pop-up menu.
On a Windows PC, choose Photoshop Album or Photoshop Elements from the pop-up menu.
Note: Some versions of Photoshop Album and Photoshop Elements don't support collections. You can still use them to sync all your photos.
If you want to sync all your photos, enable the option for "All photos, albums, events, and faces." If you want to sync photos from only some albums, events, or faces, enable the option for "Selected albums, events, and faces" and then select the albums you want. If syncing on a Mac with iPhoto version 6.0.6 or later, you may enable the option to "Include videos" to sync videos directly from iPhoto to your device. (Requires iOS 3.0 or later).
Click Apply.
To sync photos from a folder on your hard disk to your device
Drag the images you want into a folder on your computer. If you want images to appear in separate photo albums on your device, create folders inside the main folder and drag images into the new folders.
In iTunes, select the device icon in the Devices list on the left.
Choose "Sync photos from."
Select Choose Folder from the pop-up menu and choose your main image folder.

When do I know if my iphone will switch to wifi and not that it costs some money to my phone network operator? is there a spec setting I must do. Or is it enough to have the phone set to wifi and phone connects directly when it makes contact with a wifi n

When do I know if my iphone will switch to wifi and not that it costs somemoney to my phone network operator? is there a spec setting I must do.
Or is it enough to have the phone set to wifi and phone connects directlywhen it makes contact with a wifi network?

Thank you again for all of your help!! I really appreciate it!
I think I am following -- I was able to upload to my iPhoto and all photos and videos are there that is a plus! I tried to create an Event in my iPhoto and put all of my photos in that event but for some reason, now my iTunes it not recognizing that Event in my iPhoto. It is not allowing me to import just that event at the moment but I may be doing something wrong. At least all of my pics and vids are in iPhoto so that is a plus and I know they are at least saved somewhere. Just for some reason, my iTunes it not locating the event that I created with only those photos.
Thank you for letting me know about my contacts! How do I know if I have the contacts app?
Also, I had no clue that my iCloud could be backed up via cellular data! However, is this a new feature with the most updated iOS?? Unforutnatly I am like 2 iOS updates behind because I don't have enough storage on my phone. I still get the notification that my phone needs to be plugged in and connected to wifi in order to back up to the cloud :-(
How can I sync using USB? Right now when i click on the info tab for my iPhone in my iTunes this is the answer that I get -- I am a little unclear as to what it means.
Sync Contacts:
Your contacts are being synced with you iPhone over the air from iCloud. Over-the-air sync settings can be changed on you iPhone

SAP Plant Connectivity Error

Hi All,
We are using Plant Connectivity 2.0.1.7 with SAP MII 12.1.4.
we have configured two agents which are running automatically but agents got stopped whenever there is upgrade in MII and again we need to reconfigure agents.
Please resolve this issue.
Regards,
Manoj Bilthare

Hi, just to follow up on what Manoj has mentioned. MII was always on 12.1, but patches were updated. When this happened, we got errors that the PCo couldn't connect to the Destination (MII). What happened, was the PCo Agent would start and work for a period, but then when it tried to re-connect (I think after the initial session timed out), it wasn't able to, saying invalid version of MII. If we stopped and started the PCo, it would run for a time and then fall over again.
We reconfigured the MII Destination (still just selected 12.1) and then deleted the PCo agents and re-configured them. Now we're getting the error that there's an invalid date format - not too sure where it could pick that up other than from the OPC Server. All the Agents are doing is monitoring one tag each. If the tag value = 1, then the notification fires and calls the MII transaction.
The OPC Source hasn't changed, all that's changed is we've patched MII.
Has anyone else experienced this same sort of behaviour from the PCo 2.0?

Using Plant Connectivity

Hi,
Is there a blog or document explains detailly using of Plant Connectivity?
Thanks.

Cemil - I see you now have dual identities on SDN with 2 different logins?
If your company or customer was part of the ramp-up process for PCo 2.0 you would have access to the ramp-up knowledge transfer materails on service marketplace (http://service.sap.com/rkt). The learning map for PCo contains numerous learning objects that used in conjunction with the help would probably address your question.
Perhaps phrasing your inquiry as to what it is you are trying to accomplish would give the community better insight on how to help.
Think of PCo 2.0 as a trigger agent that sends an xml message to a business logic transaction that starts a workflow, business process, or in essence just 'does something' based upon the PCo trigger condition being met. From an integration standpoint it's a matter of creating the necessary transaction in MII and defining the InputXML property to receive the message from the PCO agent trigger.

Different stock between Acount view and Plant stock in MM03

Hello Experts,
In MM03 Acount view, I found the Total stock is 1, but in plant stock view, I found the stock is Zero.
There is not really any physcial invnetory so it must be a problem on the report.
And on mm03 that it was only on the finacial view screen that stock showed, it does not show on the normal stock screens.
What cause this difference? and How to clear the stock from the financial view?
Thanks

Hi
Please run MB5K for the problem material. If it shows difference, then there might be inconsistency between accounting stock and plant(storage location) stock. If that is the case, physical inventory can't help. The correction(direct table update) is necessary and can only be done by SAP.
Hope the information helps.

Polly

How to set up WRT54GS so the wired and wireless connections both work?

I have a DSL line in to a Motorola modem.
The modem is connected to the WRT54GS with an ethernet cable.
When I connect my computers directly into the WRT54GS with an ethernet cable (there are four connection spots at the back of the box), I cannot go to the internet. I have 3 computers plugged in, but none of them connect via Ethernet..
Is there a setting on the router so that I can use the router for both wired and wireless connectivity?
Added info: I tried to connect directly from the computer to the modem, but again, got no connectivity. When I "chatted" with ATT, they told me the modem is set to "bridge", and that I could connect only one device. I don't want to change this setting because I want to use the router for the wireless capability. Besides which, I have more than one computer to connect to the internet.
How come I cannot just plug in and go?
My firmware version is v2.07.1.
I don't know how to find out what hardware version I have.
Other info is "DirectEthernet Connection, Speed: 100.0 Mbps, Signal Strength: Excellent, Status: Connected"
Also "1394 Connection 3, Speed: 400.0 Mbps, Status: Connected"
I don't know what that's for, but thought it might prove useful to those of you who are knowledgeable about such things.
Wireless is ok, but if I'm sitting right next to the router, I'd like to connect with Ethernet and take advantage of the better speed, etc.
Thanks in advance.

How to set up 6th Generation AirPort Extreme to cable modem as a wireless router and then connect my 3rd Generation Time Capsule to AirPort Extreme as a wireless extender?

What is the best way to set up my 6th Generation AirPort Extreme (A1521) to my cable modem as a wireless router and then connect my 3rd Generation Time Capsule (A1355) to my AirPort Extreme as a wireless extender? I live in a small 1 story house and I currently have the Airport Extreme connected to my cable modem in the living room and the Time Capsule plugged into the wall in my bedroom. I am able to wirelessly connect to the internet using the AirPort Extreme as my router and I can also do wireless back ups to my Time Capsule. My problem is that my connection seems to be really slow! My 1TB Time Capsule back up is only half way complete and it has been 3 days! My computer has been backing up all day and night for almost 72 hours and its still not even 75% complete. I have backed up to this Time Capsule in the past and it never took this long. I am thinking that when I set up my AirPort Extreme and Time Capsule using AirPort Utility I must have set it up incorrectly or something.
How do I set up my Airport Extreme and Time Capsule for the fastest possible internet speed and back up speed?
Thank you,

AirPort Utility 5.6 works with AirPort Extreme 802.11g base stations.
It works with N version airports.
It will also show details of the AC model but cannot be used for the setup.. mostly.
I purposely got the new 6th Gen Airport Extreme so my internet connection would be a lot faster!
Your network will be much faster when you have AC client directly connected to the AE. Older client will go no faster.. but what is worse.. extend wireless is mixing new and old wireless standards.. guess what one wins.. OLD.. So when you extend wireless.. you have no improvement whatsoever. This whole post is about extending wireless.. so you cannot extend to older equipment and do any better.. maybe slightly better signal although from your comments that isn't happening either.
I would rather not have to use an ethernet at all with the TC and I don't know EOP adapters are!
If you do not use ethernet then you are going to be forced to accept slow speed.
EOP (ethernet over power). Also called homeplug in the US.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HomePlug
Provides a method of networking over power cabling that already exists in your house.
So what your saying is for the fastest internet speed and back up speed possible I should keep my Airport Extreme plugged into my Modem and keep my TC set up as a wireless extender? Then when I want to do back ups I should plug an ethernet cable from my TC to my MacBook Pro?
To spell this out.
A wireless link to an extended device will go very slowly.. if it is not direct.
So lets say you have a laptop sitting in the lounge.. Your connection goes.. Laptop- - - - - AE- - - - -TC.
That means two wireless links.. wireless has this nasty half duplex and single channel nature.. it can send or receive (Tx or Rx) but not at the same time.
Ethernet by contrast does both at once. It is full duplex.
Wireless can talk to one client at a time.. so if there are multiple items using wireless lets say 4 devices.. then your computer gets a 25% time slice. Since wireless cannot handle multiple simultaneous connections.
Ethernet by contrast can connect multiple computers to multiple destinations at the same time.. all transmitting and receiving at full speed.
When you put all this together.. there are a couple of rules for fast connection.
1. Use ethernet at all times. Where you cannot use ethernet use anything but wireless.. eg EOP (homeplug) at least to try and get rid of wireless.
2. Where you must use wireless use it sparingly and make sure it is never more than one hop.. ie never have an extend wireless (repeater is more usual term). Repeater will cause instant slowdown of 50% and maybe up to 75% just because it is so inefficient.
3. Fastest wireless is 5ghz but it has very short range.. you need to be up close and personal to get it working.
Apple routers however unless you do manual setup I suggest are set to connect to best signal strength not best speed. It will therefore use 2.4ghz at 25% less speed than 5ghz because it is 1db better signal.. this madness means you need to setup manually for the best setup.

Connect Fios to Cat5e home network AND Coax connections?

My Verizon fios system was recently installed. My home is wired for a Cat5e home network and standard Coax in all rooms. The fios system is currently connected to the Coax connections and the TVs and Fios router all work fine. Problem is that I would also like to use the Cat5e connections for devices that access the internet that don't have wireless capability and are not proximate to the Fios router. Is it possible to connect the ONT to my Cat5e home network so that I can connect other devices directly to the Cat5e outlets, and keep the existing Coax set-up?
I understand that the standard Fios set-up only allows using either an Ethernet output or the Coax output, but not both. Any suggestions?
One option might be to move the router to the basement (where the equipment is located that I want to connect to the Cat5e network), but then the router will likely be too far from the rest of the house to receive the wireless signal. In that case, is it possible to connect a wireless router in another location (I have a Belkin wireless router). Or do I need to get another router from Verizon?

DC_Sox_Fan wrote:
I just spoke to Verizon Fios Tech Support and they claim that it is NOT possible to use both the Coax and Cat5e connections. So, for those that have a Cat5e home network, but still want to use th Coax for TV, Verzon says you are out of luck.
Thats not strickly true but its not bad info either. You cant use both the coax and cat5 at the same time for INTERNET. The coax internet port (moca) is not active at the same time as the ethernet port. However, many systems use the ethernet for internet and coax for TV.
Depending on how your house is set up this can be accomplished many different ways.
I would assume that you have some kind of utility closet were all the ethernet cables converge, where you could place the router so that it can connect to all the rooms. Is this correct? If so, is there also a coax connection in there? Again, if so, you could place the verizon router in the closet, connect the coax to the router for the link to verizon and the TV's and then connect the ethernet to the lan for the rest of the house. This would be the simplest way assuming that you have this type of connection available to you. there are many other ways but it would all depend on what you have available to you and how your house wiring is set up

JMQ cluster and unstable connections

Hello all.
I have a few architectural questions about building an OpenMQ message-passing infrastructure between multiple offices which do not always have on-line internet connections. We also need to distribute the MQ mesh configuration info.
From the scale of my questions it seems, that I or our developers don't fully understand MQ, because I think that many of our problems and/or solution ideas (below) should already be implemented within the MQ middleware, and not by us from outside it.
The potential client currently has a (relatively ugly) working solution which they wanted to revise for simplification, if possible, but this matter is not urgent and answers are welcome at any timeframe :)
I'd welcome any insights, ideas and pointers as to why our described approach may be plain wrong :)
To sum this post up, here's my short questionnaire:
1) What is a good/best way to distribute MQ mesh config when not all nodes are available simultaneously?
2) What are the limitations on number of brokers and queues in one logical mesh?
3) Should we aim for separate "internal" and "external" MQ networks, or can they be combined into one large net?
4) Should we aim for partial solution external to OpenMQ (such as integration with SMTP for messaging, or SVN for config distribution), or can this quest be solved within OpenMQ functionality?
5) Can a clustered broker be forced to fully start without available master broker connection?
6) Are broker clusters inherently local-network, or is there some standard solution (pattern) for geographically disperse MQ clusters?
7) How to enforce pushing of the messages from one broker to another? Are any priority assignments available for certain brokers and "their" queues?
Detailed rumblings follow below...
We are thinking about implementing JMQ in a geographically disperse project, where it will be used for asynchronous communications to connect application servers in different branch offices with a central office. The problematic part is, that the central and especially branch offices are not expected to be always on-line, hence the MQ - whenever a connection is available, queued messages (requests, responses, etc.) are to be pushed to the other side's MQ broker. And if all goes well with the project, there may eventually be hundreds of such branch offices and more than one central office for failover, and a mesh of interconnection MQ agreements.
The basic idea is simple: an end-user of the app server in a branch generates a request, this request is passed via message queue to another branch or to a central office, then another app server processes it to generate a response and the answer is queued back to the requesting app server. At some time after the initial request, the end-user would see in his web-page that the request's status has been updated with a response value. A branch office's app server and MQ broker may be an appliance-server distributed as a relatively unmaintained "black box".
During the POC we configured several JMQ broker instances in this manner and it worked. From what I gather from our developers, each branch office's request and response queues are separate destinations in the system, and requests (from a certain branch) may be subscribed by any node, and responces (to a certain branch) may be submitted by any node. This may be restricted by passwords and/or certificate-based SSL tunnel channels, for example (suggestions welcome, though).
However, we also wanted to simplify spreading the configuration of the MQ nodes' network by designating "master brokers" (as per JMQ docs) which keep track of the config and each other broker downloads the cluster config from its master. Perhaps it was wrong on our side, and a better idea is available to avoid manual reconfiguration of each MQ broker whenever another broker or a queue destination is added?
Problem here is: it seems an "MQ cluster" is a local-network oriented concept. When we have a master broker in a central office, and the inter-connection is not up, branch offices loop indefinitely waiting for connection to a master, and reject client connections (published JMS port remains 0, and appropriate comments in the log files). In this case the branch office can not function until its JMQ broker connects to a central office, updates the MQ config, and permits client connections to itself.
Also we are not certain (and it seems to be a popular question on Google, too) how to enforce a queued message to be pushed to another side - to a broker "nearest" to the target app server? Can this be done within OpenMQ config, or does this require an MQ client application to read and manipulate such messages somehow? For example, when a branch office's "request" queue has a message, and a connection to central office comes online, this request data should end up in the central office's broker. Apparently, a message which physically remains in the branch office broker when the interconnection goes offline, is of little use to the central appserver...
I was thinking along the lines of different-priority brokers for a certain destinations, so that messages would automatically flow from further brokers to neares ones - like water flows from higher ground to lower ground in an aqueduct. It would then be possible to easily implement transparent routing between branch offices (available at non-intersecting times) via central office (always up).
How many brokers and destination can be interconnected at all (practically or theoretically/hardcoded)?
Possibly, there are other means to do some or all of this?
Ideas we've discussed internally include:
* Multiple networks of MQ brokers:
Have an "internal" broker (cluster) in each branch office which talks to the app server, and a separate "external" broker which is clustered with the central office's "master broker". Some branch office application transfers messages between two brokers local to its branch. Thus the local appserver works okay, and remote queuing works whenever network is available.
Possibly, the central office should also have separate internal and external broker setups?
* Multi-tiered net of MQ brokers:
Perhaps there can be "clusters of clusters" - with "external" tier-1 brokers being directly master brokers for local "internal" tier-2 clusters? Otherwise the idea of "miltiple networks of MQ brokers" above, without an extra app to relay messages between MQ brokers local to this app.
* Multi-protocol implementation of MQ+SMTP(+POP3/IMAP)
Many of our questions are solvable by SMTP. That is, we can send messages to a mailbox residing on a specific server (local in each office), and local appserver clients retrieve them by POP3 from the local mailbox server, and then submit responses over SMTP. This is approximately how the client currently solves this task now.
We don't really want to invent a bicycle, but maybe this approach can also be applied to JMQ (asynch traffic not over MQ protocol, but over SMTP like in SOAP-SMTP vs. SOAP-HTTP webservices)?
* HTTP/RCS-based config file:
The OpenMQ config allows for the detailed configuration file to be available in local filesystem or on a web server. It is possible to fetch the config file from a central office whenever the connection is up (wget, svn/cvs/etc.) and restart the branch broker.
Why is this approach good or bad? Advocates welcome :)

Can't keep internet and Lan connected at same time

For those of you who have helped before I apologize for the repetition but I'm it for IT person at my husband's office. Guy we used has gone to NYC. Network is ethernet connected-6 iMac G5's running 10.4 served by G3 running OS9. Also has a 2-3 week old 16 port Linksys switch-not router-which replaced our old Asante hub-needed to boost signal from the server over distance. The original network used manually configured IP addresses starting with 192.100.100.2 for the server and continuing on .3,.4, etc. On October 21st we were set up for DSL service with Verizon-purpose to provide internet access for all users on the network except the server. The DSL modem/router is a Westell 6100. It is connected to the switch, ethernet,and phone jack. We do not use any DSL phone filters because we have a phone system (Merlin) and filters aren't needed. During the DSL installation,it was necessary to change our manual TCP/IP setting to DHCP in order to connect to the internet. This of course gives different IP addresses. It also necessitated giving the switch an IP address which was assigned 192.100.100.1-a number I understand is normally reserved for the router. During installation, after he got internet connection, the workstations lost all connection to our server-data base. He went back in, switched us back to manual TCP/IP and all was working well until last night. While I was doing a port scan in the network utility on one of the work stations, we lost internet connection throughout the network. The DSL modem showed power, ethernet, DSL but no internet. After working with Verizon several times today, we were able to get connected. There was a mismatch of user and password on the router which they tell me was most likely due to a power surge. In order to reset the DSL we direct connected off the Lan using DHCP. I was happy to have the modem up again but advised the very helpful Verizon rep that I had now lost the LAN. He advised, very nicely and correctly,"not my job". I have now tried any number of combinations in the network preference panels with no success. I even made one attempt with internet sharing on one of the computers to make it be a router but succeeded only in knocking it off the LAN and no connection. Right now that means we can only use the LAN even though the DSL modem is connected again. Any ideas anybody.

Have gotten some additional information to add to the mix on this issue. First-apologies to Rick on not getting back to you earlier. We have had internet connectivity problems over the weekend due to high wind-trees down. Also spent all day with software people who were able to come down on Saturday to address glitches so we wouldn't have to go in over Timbuktu. They have no idea how to fix. Situation is still as it was-just a bit more info. It is not that the LAN itself will not work when we are connected to the internet via DHCP. It is our operating software that will not work that way. It states on the PracticeMaker,(modified FileMakerPro) opening page "Must use TCP/IP, cannot use DHCP. Each computer must have its own IP address". So it is not actually the LAN going down though the net result is the same. The fellow who set it up got back to me. He thought the only thing he did differently was to manually enter 2 DNS addresses but I already had those in. I have further determined that the Westell 6100 modem is a modem+router. Saw a post on the G5 forum where Verizon techs advised Mac user to set it up via PPPoE. Looked at that option but don't know what to do with it. By the way, same user got 4 different set up configs from 4 different Verizon techs. I have to think that I would need to change the modem/router configuration which is currently set up "DHCP with private LAN".

How to have RAC accept Forms and Reports connection to non specific node?

Hi all,
I have posted this in the Forms forum w/ no result, hoping someone here can help;
Oracle Forms and Reports services, not the entire app server. Version 10.1.2.0.2, one server
Oracle database, RAC Version 11.1.0.6.0, 3 nodes
Instance=RMSTEST
Nodes = RMSTEST1, RMSTEST2, RMSTEST3
I can TNSPING RMSTEST w/o issue
When I have userid in formsweb.cfg = user/pw@RMSTEST we are being prompted when logging into forms and reports to supply the password for the RMSTEST instance, enter the password and we are in.
So we changed this in formsweb.cfg = user/pw@RMSTEST? (?= any of the nodes 1-3) and the password prompt is no longer being requested.
What do I need to do to have Forms and Reports connect to the RMSTEST cluster directly for it to determine which node to connect to instead of having an unbalanced node(s)?
Thanks,
Steve

This is what I have;
RMSTEST =

HT4279 I have a Macbook Pro (late 2012) and I would like to connect it to 2 screens simultaneously (1 screen is a TV and can only take HDMI, the other is a larger computer screen and has both VGA and HDMI connections). How can I do this?

The article you cited refers to The Mac Pro, a 50lb silver tower -- not a notebook computer.
Everymac.com says:
2nd Display Support:
Dual/Mirroring*
2nd Max. Resolution:
2560x1600 (x2*)
Details:
*This model supports a simultaneous maximum resolution up to 2560x1600 on two external displays via Thunderbolt. Alternately, it can support a single display up to 2560x1600 via Thunderbolt and a single display up to 1920x1200 via HDMI. Although it can theoretically power all three external displays, as confirmed by a helpful reader, it runs too hot with three displays connected.
Also see: How many external displays can the Retina Display MacBook Pro models support? What is the maximum supported resolution of each? Are adapters required?
When using other than ThunderBolt displays, the ThunderBolt port is directly compatible with Mini DisplayPort, and can be forced into compatibility (with Single-Link DVI or HDMI up to 1920 wide) with a simple adapter.
To adapt to wider displays, an ACTIVE Dual-Link adapter is needed, about US$100.

Question about MII and xMII UDS versions

Hi all,
just some quick questions on MII and MII UDS:
Has the final version 12.1 of MII already been released? I can't find it in my service marketplace (does it depend on my account configuration?)
What is the last MII UDS version? The 4.0 SP2? Is xMII UDS supported on Windows 2003 server 64 bit or only on 32bit?
Can I connect MII via UDC connector to an UDS different from xMII UDS?
Your help is appreciated...
Mauro

Yes, it would depend upon your SMP credentials and licensed software purchases (if you have 12.0 then you're eligible for 12.1 too). But it is not GA yet, so only people in ramp-up currently have access to it. Don't both asking for a date because it has not been set. Some time this quarter hopefully

The 2.5 UDS's are still viable and necessary for some of the vendor API based connections, but 4.0 is available for OleDB, OPC-DA and OPC-HDA. They have only been validated on 32 bit, but in theory they should work in a 32 bit emulation mode on a Windows 64 bit environment. Supported vs. unsupported is a thin line as a result, but perhaps others using them could share any specific experiences using them on 64 bit.

Your MII version of 11.5, 12.0, or 12.1 will work the same way with the UDS's as they are not version specific to MII.
