Delay Deprecating SevOne NMS Reporting Feature

As a follow up to the discussion with Ben Fogal, we are formally requesting the SevOne NMS Reporting feature be retained until version 10 or later. Our adoption of Data Insight as the reporting interface for SevOne data has been delayed due to the lack of the 'productized' resiliency for saved reports and user data. We understand Data Insight resiliency will be introduced in the version 9 release but this leaves little to no time to test, certify and deploy this feature and version of code to production since the NMS Report Manager is slated to be deprecated in the same version. Delaying the deprecation of NMS Report Manager to v10 (or later) will provide time deploy the resilient Data Insight design in a controlled manner and minimize disruption to users as they adopt DI and migrate reports.

    Hey Austin,

    I wanted to clarify how 9.0 and 9.1 fit into the lifecycle and the path forward for JPMC.

    Both 9.0 and 9.1 follow the same lifecycle policy, so with 9.0 you can continue using the existing NMS reporting functionality through the EOS date. The EOS date is the same across all 9.x versions, so there’s no additional lifecycle impact by staying on 9.0 for the time being.

    This also gives you some flexibility around the transition to 9.1. Our Engineering teams are currently working on the Data Insight resiliency initiative, which we’re targeting for the 9.1 release. Once that capability is available, you’ll be able to move DI to 9.1 and take advantage of the N-1 support with NMS to test and validate the new setup before making any changes to your NMS environments. Once you’re comfortable with the results, you can then move your NMSs to 9.1.

    We’ve taken JPMC’s feedback into account as part of this planning and have delayed the reporting deprecation by an additional release to give you more time to transition. This does require us to continue supporting the existing NMS reporting experience for an extended period, but we felt it was important to provide JPMC with a practical transition path.

    Longer term, we’re continuing to move toward a One UI experience, which we believe will provide a more consistent and streamlined experience across the product. We want to make sure JPMC has the time and flexibility to validate the new capabilities and make the transition at a point that works well for your environment.

    Hi Deva,

     

    As you are aware, we requested SevOne NMS reporting features to be maintained until there is a ‘productized’ resiliency capability for Data Insight nodes, which we were expecting to be available in version 9.0.

     

    I did not see resiliency explicitly mentioned in the Data Insight release notes for 9.0. Can you point me to where this is documented?

     

    If Data Insight resiliency is not addressed in this release, NMS Reporting features need to be maintained. The ask is to maintain NMS Reporting features for at least 1 major release  after Data Insight has resiliency (the ability to replicate settings / data between nodes, essentially HSA) as part of its standard offering.

    Hey Austin,

    After considering this request, we have made the decision to delay the deprecation to a 9.1 release. So the 9.0 release in Sept will still retain the SURF reporting functions.
