Information Builders PMF 5.2.3 Hotfix 1 (HF1) was released to manufacturing December 10, 2010, and is currently available on the Information Builders software download site at
http://techsupport.informationbuilders.com.
PMF 5.2.3 HF1 is Generally Available, contains all the features of 5.2.2, and fixes some minor issues in PMF 5.2.3. PMF 5.2.3 added two major new capabilities to increase PMF's adoptability in wide-scale deployments:
- Speed: PMF's Web profile has been retuned to run sufficiently fast for full Internet (rather than the previously-typical Intranet/LAN) deployment.
- Accessibility: PMF’s available accessibility options have been automated to integrate with WebFOCUS’ accessibility settings, and accessible Dashboards and Gadgets have been added to the framework to simplify and clarify the capabilities.
In addition, these new capabilities were also added:
- Cause and effect drills added to the Strategy Map
- 11 formatting "skins" completed and ready for use
Note that PMF 5.2.3 HF1 runs on WebFOCUS 7.6.7 or higher and also is installable and runnable on WebFOCUS 7.7.02.
For a full list of new capabilities from the previous PMF release, PMF 5.2.2, please see the
previous FocalPoint posting regarding the 5.2.2 release from May. If you already have PMF 5.2.3 installed, you can also find a PDF containing details about all new features in /ibi/apps/mainstreet/documentation/PMF New Features.pdf.
