Wonderware Corporation FactorySuite Year 2000 Product Support

pantek.co.uk (distributing partner of Wonderware)

The overall impression of this document IMO:

Those guys really know what they are doing and what they are talking about. Very detailed, useful information on how testing was done; how problems were remediated etc. Many how-to's (e.g. patches of OS like NT 3.51).

Impressive! Good partner for other co's, IMO.

'3. Testing Considerations

Special test cases were developed by Wonderware's QA Department to ensure Year 2000 support for the following InTouch subsystems and components: History, HistData, HistMerge, Alarms, Installation, Licensing and Conversion. Testing has been performed primarily on English-language versions of InTouch. Ongoing testing of Localized releases of InTouch will continue.

Should a customer wish to perform their own Year 2000 compliance testing, we suggest the following:

Test both the time period 1999 to 2000 and the time period immediately following the turn of the century.
The year 2000 is Leap Year
- test February 29, 2000
Take care in setting the date ahead - passwords, userids, and product licenses might expire
Use a separate system for testing
Handle backup data and programs correctly
Utilize a method to age the date information in your application data to ensure a thorough test
