SPSS 21 Patch available

David Marso
Administrator
I would think JoNoH would have brought this up.
I found out thru back channels (LinkedIn).
At any rate in the same familiar labyrinth.
http://www-933.ibm.com/support/fixcentral/options

Go for door #4 rather than door #1 ;-(
I accidentally DL the patch for the server rather than client despite the obvious labeling (er sarcasm).

Be prepared with your 'IBM ID' which is actually your email address  and password ;-)
Now:  What was actually fixed?
Please reply to the list and not to my personal email.
Those desiring my consulting or training services please feel free to email me.

Re: SPSS 21 Patch available

Barnett, Adrian (DECD)
In reply to this post by David Marso
Thanks David.
I'd thought that once registered, the site was supposed to automatically email us with the notification of the new patch. :-\

The list of fixes can be found under the "More Information" link underneath the patch.
Then from that there is another link to the list of fixes.

Rendering of the pages in the current Firefox is awful. I had to scroll to the bottom of the page before the whole page would render - otherwise I only saw those bits the cursor was passing over. :-(
Took ages to get the patch - especially since it's not possible to re-enable the Java plugin needed for the download widget. Firefox disables it because this release of the Java plugin has some deathly security vulnerability
But the normal process of re-enabling the plugin doesn't work (the tab just seizes up) and you need to nuke the tab before you can go back and try one of the other download methods.

Eventually we got there

Regards,

Adrian

Re: SPSS 21 Patch available

In reply to this post by elle lists

For what it’s worth, I have not had the best success with the “automatic” patch, or relying on the system, once logged in, to detect any needed patches etc.  However, in these cases, I have had great success reaching out to IBM and, though arduous, getting someone to isolate the specific patch needed.

 

I miss the days when SPSS was a stand-alone company and reaching out to them didn’t require explore grade sleuthing skills to get through the labyrinth of GUIs and sub-menus.
