Service Pack 2 for Pipeline Pilot 7.5

The following notice was emailed to all current Pipeline Pilot license holders and ship-to contacts:

Accelrys has released Service Pack 2 (SP2) for Pipeline Pilot 7.5 to address several server platform issues. SP2 is only available on Windows since the issues addressed are specific to that platform.

SP2-specific changes -

Note: SP2 is not necessary unless one of the following items applies to your Pipeline Pilot installation on Windows.

• Proxy Server Authentication: Support for proxy server authentication based on the users’ Pipeline Pilot credentials. This is relevant only if your network uses a proxy server that requires individual user-level authentication. Configuration is now possible within the Pipeline Pilot Administration Portal.

• Enhanced Stability: A source of instability related to server configuration settings has been detected on heavily used Pipeline Pilot servers that are typically under constant use and with multiple jobs. If you have noticed server instability (either temporary or requiring a restart of the server) with Pipeline Pilot 7.5 under heavy load conditions, then please apply this service pack.

Customers with Pipeline Pilot 7.5 can upgrade their current installation to SP2 by downloading and applying the SP2 for Pipeline Pilot 7.5 installer. The SP2 installer and a readme file with installation instructions and requirements are available as separate downloads:

README: ftp://download.accelrys.com/pa..._for_PP75_README.txt
