ECMPS Support

Upcoming Software Update scheduled for March 9, 2010

As usual, an ECMPS Client Tool update is scheduled to occur in the month prior to a reporting month. However, in a one time change, the update is scheduled to occur earlier than usual. In March, the software update is scheduled to be released on March 9th. At that time, the latest version of the Client Tool--the 2010Q1 version--will be made available.

In another change, the release will only be available as an update to the Client Tool. This change will only impact users who need to install a new version of the Client Tool. For instance, if you need to install the Client Tool on a new computer, you will download and install the latest version of the installation--the 2009Q4 Service Pack 2 version--and then complete an update to the 2010Q1 version. User who already have the 2009Q4 Service Pack 2 version of the Client Tool will simply go through the update to get to 2010Q1 version.

In order to complete the deployment of the latest version of the Client Tool, the EPA Host System will be unavailable from March 2nd until March 9th when the new version is released. During that time, users will only be able to use the Client Tool "offline".
