Hey Rod !  Great idea opening this discussion group in communities.  i have opened a similar one at the SASCANADA site at http://sascanada.ning.com/group/sitrmug but i guess there are not many ITRM users in Canada that have seen the site.  I currently work for Transport Canada, the Federal Government of Canada and I have been supporting ITRM v3.1.1 for almost 3 years now.  I am more a system admin than a coder but i am slowly making my way through the custom code Rod and the gang created for us while I try and see how to update what we have with new source databases (VMware and Citrix) plus to start looking deeper at our SAN infrastructure.  I would be interested in hearing about anyone's experiences in upgrading ITRM from 3.1.x to 3.2 as I have to do that in order to make VMware (aka Vsphere) talk with our adapters.  I have also been supporting about 60 users on Enterprise guide 4.2/4.3 on SAS Base 9.2.  I am also anxious to get it upgraded to SAS Base 9.3 with Enterprise Guide 5.1 but that's for another discussion page !!!  Happy to be here and to meet you all !!!!

Greetings all!  My name is Andy Parks.  I’ve been at SAS for 16 years and in the IT Intelligence area in a variety of roles – consultant, instructor, project manager, sales support – for the bulk of that time. Started coding SAS on a keypunch machine in 1979 at GWU, and accumulated SAS skills through my work at US Department of Labor, Commerce, Federal Reserve, and the International Trade Commission.  Currently I provide support for the global IT Intelligence community, working with sales, marketing, professional services, R&D, education and tech support.  Looking forward to some good discussions here.
