Refuting FUD

Post by ray.wurlod »

Server jobs are not going away any time soon. They are fully supported in the new ("Hawk") architecture.

Sales dudes seem to have confused the fact that there won't be a separate server edition in future with the non-fact about the disappearance of server jobs. Don't be misled. Server jobs are not going away any time soon. Enterprise Edition does, and will continue to, include support for server jobs.

The most outstanding reason for making this statement is that, even in "Hawk", job sequences remain as server jobs containing a job control routine.

Not to be confused with FOD. :wink:

This seems to be pretty much a 'no brainer'... I mean, how could they afford to do something like that? :roll:
