    Customer who is upgrading to V3.0 has asked me for as detailed a
    description as I can provide of the Distributed Sharing Option,
    including pricing and licensing issues.
    
    Anyone know where I can begin looking?
    
    Thanks

| >> description It allows you to share drawers on your node with other nodes. Note this means if you want to do two-way sharing, you need the DSO on both nodes. Example: if node A has the DSO PAK, node B can access drawers on node A. Node A can't access drawers on node B though; you need to install the DSO PAK on node B as well for that to happen. >> pricing Dunno >> licensing The DSO is simply a PAK. Once you install it, the FCS will honour remote requests; that's all there is to it. The only 'issue' is the 'note' in the description above. Scott | |||||

|     Pricing and licensing will almost certainly be Geography specific, so
    you'd need to ask the Sales/Marketing/Product Management function for
    your area about that.

    re .0 and .1
    
    .1 has the basics of the DSO, allows distributed sharing, one small
    point though just to make sure you customer doesn't get caught by
    it.

    You will need to re-start the FCS after the PAK is installed, the FCS
    checks for it at startup time, sets a global symbol with the result
    of that check and off it goes, never checks for it again.
