Please announce the release schedule for the Replacement tool for GPM that removed SI6.2.2 as early as possible.

GPM is a key tool for developing and maintaining Business Processes in Sterling B2B Integrator, and it is a purchasing factor for our customers. The sudden removal of this tool from the product without any prior notice, and the fact that the tool used in SI 6.2.1 can no longer be used in SI 6.2.2, not only causes customers using IBM products to hesitate to upgrade their versions but also negatively impacts the acquisition of new customers. We believe this situation will have a very detrimental effect.There appears to be a plan to develop a replacement tool for GPM; however, due to the sudden removal of GPM, stakeholders are questioning whether the development of the alternative tool is actually progressing. We request the prompt announcement of the release schedule.

    Our customer is very worried that the Graphical Process Modeler (GPM) was removed in Sterling B2B Integrator 6.2.2, and there is no replacement yet.

    For us, GPM and the Map Editor are the two most important tools in IBM Sterling. Without GPM, we can only write business processes by hand in BPML. This takes more time and is more risky. Because of this, it is hard for us to upgrade to 6.2.2 or later.

    IBM said that GPM will be replaced with a new tool, but nine months later we still do not know when. Please tell us when the new tool will be released, if there will be a beta or early access program, and how long GPM on 6.2.1.x will be supported.

    Thank you.

    We are using B2Bi for a long time and we agree, we are not able to handle and work further with B2Bi if there is not a GPM!. All our systems are upgraded and there is no previous version B2Bi available.
