Anybody have info on Siperian?

[Rick Garland]

Hi all:

Been tasked with assisting an upgrading Siperian on HPUX 11.23 IA system.
To begin, have been searching for info related to Siperian and HPUX but I find next to nothing - mainly a bunch of marketing hype is what I am finding.

A search in these forums and on google turned up next to nothing.

Anybody have some additional info?

Thanks

Rick,
I had never heard of this company/product.
What does your assistance consist of in this upgrade ? Are you changing OS/platform ?
Is the upgrade really required - "if it isn't broken, don't fix it" ?

Otherwise you are probably stuck with either just doing the best you can with guesswork and trying it out OR asking management for money to hire the Implementation Serivces team from http://www.siperian.com/

Hi Rick,

are you sure you haven't made a typo and misspelled Siberian with a p?

Is your CRM in any way seasonal, or snow related?

Then you probably need to apply the most recent Feb 2007 Siberian Snow Bleach Patch prior to upgrading:

or yet rather the Synthesizing Snow Conversion Patch (which promises to become a high-flyer in view of Global Warming)

Been finding some more info.

It is Siperian - it has to do with Customer Master lists and interacts with Oracle and Web Logic.

So I am discovering that I need the Oracle 10g patches and need to upgrade the WebLogic Server.

In addition to this, I need to ensure that the java pieces are DST compliant as well. (Already did the OS patches and the tzupdater, but the java from BEA is embedded so it is not updated.)

Thanks all!

Let you know, I have never heard of Siperian until just recently.
