What's the estimated release date for SP2?
Soon
guys,
we really need an official ETA on the SP. the SP1 issues are killing me... i have a 9.5 install. i was told to remove SP1 using repair. i have tio install 2 new pollers, and an additional webserver by the end of the week, but the version on the solarwinds website are 9.1SP1, so i can not install them as the DB is incompatible....
any advice... there MUST be an ETA...
Goodluck!!! the_toilet
In my case, This weekend could be my second time to move the schedule of upgrade until next SP has been released by solarwind. currently running 9.0 SP5
Soon is really a non-answer. I'm sure I'm not the only one who resents the "wait and see" approach to SW software releases. I'm already expecting I have to wait at least 2 weeks after SP2 is released to see about SP3, or at least what issues are still open that people are complaining about.

Hi,
I had a answer to my question that i posted in reply to a maintenance topic and got the following aswer maybe this explains the "soon" answer.Quote Denny.Lecompte:-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Gerjan, I've been working at different software companies for the last decade, and SolarWinds is by far the most transparent at telling customers is going on. I can tell you what I said before. We try to deliver modules two or three times a year, and we try to deliver Orion twice a year. Given the nature of software development, we can't promise that frequency because we might find ourselves delivering low-quality or low-value releases just to hit dates. That said, look at the past 18 months, and you'll see that we are shipping at that rate or faster.
As for promising service packs, those are simply done as the need appears. It doesn't make sense to promise 4 service packs when we might only need two or even one. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
