When it is planned to release the JCS 6 for normal customers ?
Is there a way to register for this beta program ? One of my ISP customers running JCS 5 is going for a large upgrade, is there a way to download JCS 6 to demo it for him ?
Thanks

Thank's both for your answers, that's what i thought about the upgrade, well i guess we're going to move on the beta : our DSEE is 6.3 and i guess it'll be faster to upgrade CE & Convergence rather than upgrading all the messagning sytem : we're on a several hosts over two places and several master DSEE...
thank's again for your answers !!

about DSEE version: what is your recommendation for RHEL 4?
I realized that there are no native packages for DSEE 6.3 on RHEL, so I installed from zip.
Unfortunately there is no easy DSCC install and I could not find smcwebserver.
Would it be better to install DSEE 6.2 from JES 5u1 and upgrade/patch to DSEE 6.3?
What is the reason for the requirement of DSEE 6.3 for CS6?
Will Communications Express run with DSEE 6.2?
regards,
Matthias

Go to sunsolve.sun.com and get patch 125309 (latest rev is -07).
The patch contains the RPMs.
Aside: In reality, there are no "patches" on Linux unlike Solaris.
Thus a "linux" patch on sunsolve contains full RPMs.
DSEE 6.3 is recommended for CS6 because DSEE 6.2 is no longer available.
Communications Express does run with DSEE 6.2

The recommendation from the Directory Server team is to also run DS6.3 due to known issues with DS6.2:
http://blogs.sun.com/dsee/entry/dsee_6_2_sun_alert
>> Unfortunately there is no easy DSCC install and I could not find smcwebserver.
DSCC installation is fairly straight-forward (and faster) from the ZIP installer e.g.
***************
=> download zip install version of Directory Server 6.3
=> expand download
=> as the root user:
mkdir dsee6; cd dsee6
gunzip -dc ../DSEE.6.3.Linux-X86-full.tar.gz | tar xf -
=> install product
cd DSEE_ZIP_Distribution
./dsee_deploy install -i /opt/sun/directory/
=> accept license
=> deploy directory server instance
mkdir -p /var/opt/sun/directory/
cd /opt/sun/directory/ds6/bin
./dsadm create /var/opt/sun/directory/dsins1
Directory Manager password: <directory manager password>
=> create base user/group suffix
./dsadm start /var/opt/sun/directory/dsins1
./dsconf create-suffix "<suffix>"
Enter "cn=Directory Manager" password: <directory manager password>
***************
You would replace <directory manager password> with an appropriate password, and <suffix> with an appropriate value for your environment e.g. o=isp
The smcwebserver is actually part of the JES5u1 installer and should be installed if you select "All Shared Components".
