Questions & Answers
Why is Aprisma discontinuing support for NetScape?
Based on Aprisma’s Product Strategy, focusing on developing on and
supporting only one Browser type will allow Aprisma to develop more
robust web solutions at a faster pace.
What is meant by discontinued functionality/support?
Discontinued functionality/support refers to specific functionality and/or
operating platform for Aprisma product that will no longer be supported.
Specifically, Aprisma will no longer support Web Operator Suite running on
the Netscape platform. We will instead, only support Web Operator Suite
operating on Internet Explorer Version 5.x and higher.
Note: This applies to the client only. The WOS Apache
Web Server can still be run on the Solaris platform.
It is the client that requires IE 5.x or above.
Moving forward, no fixes or enhancements will be made to the product to
enhance or maintain the products’ capability to operate Web Operator
Suite on Netscape. In addition, Aprisma will no longer complete testing to
ensure that Web Operator Suite works appropriately when running on
Netscape.
What is the migration path?
Users who access Web Operator Suite should access it from a Windows
machine moving forward.
Is there a formal program to move customers to Internet Explorer
5.x or above?
There is no formal program to move customers to Internet Explorer 5.x or
above. Customers will be responsible for managing this change
themselves.
Discontinued Functionality / Support Recommended Migration Path
Support for Netscape Internet Explorer Version 5.x and above
