Can not find - WinCC OA 3.15 P014

[Tushar10ap]

Hi,
I can not find WinCC OA Version 3.15 P014 in download section.

In the WinCC OA Portal only the newest patch for a version is available.
There is no possibility to make a download of older patches.

There is no possibility to make a download of older patches.

Why is that?
Now, I need 3.14 P024 for SuSE, because we are doing a test. But cannot get it, only P028. So now I'll have to choose among:

a) Not doing those tests, after all, who wants to do them?
b) Change the testing environment from SuSE to RHEL (there are reasons for the existence of different environments with different OS)
c) Update the production environment to RHEL P028 (as if) and do the same for test environment (SuSE P028) so versions match

My point is: although there could be legitimate reasons for not to be offering old versions' downloads, there exist real live situations where older versions may be needed.

If you want to have a specific patch you still get in contact with your common WinCC OA support and ask for it.
When your customer is using a specific version you can store a backup of the setup files for this version on your own.

Hi,
that's great news.

About the backup: we usually do that but, in this case I was talking about, we did not dowonload the SuSE version in time to have a backup for our tests. Nevertheless, SuSE tests were discarded and we went straight to use only RHEL.

Thanks for your feedback, I appreciate it.
