[BESAdmin-Announcements] Pre-announcement: Changes will occur next week in Updates for Windows Applications

[Announcements for BES Administrators]

IBM is pleased to announce an upcoming update to the Tivoli Endpoint 
Manager Updates for Windows Applications content stream. All of the 
fixlets in this content stream will be updated on Tuesday March 29th, 2011 
in order to provide internationalization support for French, Italian, 
German, Spanish, Chinese Simplified, and Japanese. This change is being 
pre-announced because it will affect users of the currently separate 
fixlets for applications in French. These fixlets will be disabled on 
Friday, April 29th, 2011 in favor of the more complete international 
Fixlets.

These new international Fixlets replace the currently English only Updates 
for Windows Applications Fixlets. All language support is consolidated 
into one Fixlet per product to increase performance and usability. Because 
French updates were supported by separate Fixlets in the past, there will 
be an overlap period for French users of one month. French users will see 
both international versions and French versions of relevant Fixlets in the 
console from Tuesday March 29th, 2011 until the French Fixlets are retired 
on Friday, April 29th, 2011.

Actions to Take: 
Patching customers using French language Updates for Windows Applications 
fixlets in baselines will need to recreate those baselines using the 
International equivalents.
