Today, the Gamma A version of the Client Tool has been released. This is an update to the Beta B Service Pack 1 (Beta B SP1) version which was released in September. It includes a number of bug fixes and some additional functionality, including LME.

Testers who are already using the Beta B SP1 version of the Client Tool should use the ECMPS Update Utility to update their version of the Client Tool to Gamma A. To use the ECMPS Update Utility, click here and follow the steps.



Testers who have not yet begun to test, should click here to follow the instructions on the Getting Started page in order to begin their testing.

The Release Notes for Gamma A can be viewed by selecting Index or Contents from the Help menu in the Client Tool.

If you have any questions about this update, please send an email to ecmps-beta@pqa.com.

Because the Gamma A version has not been released, the Test EPA Host System is still unavailable for testers.

Until Gamma A is released, all testing of the ECMPS Client Tool needs to be done off-line. Logging in, synchronization, retrieval of data, and submission of data will not be available until access to the Test EPA Host System is restored.

For those who might be interested, the reason that you are not able to connect is because the Web services have changed. The Web services are used to connect the Client Tool to the Test EPA Host System.

The Beta B Service Pack 1 version of the Client Tool does not have the correct code to use the new Gamma A Web Services. As a result, once the Gamma A version has been released, it will be necessary to upgrade to the Gamma A version of the Client Tool in order to connect to the EPA Host System.

Note, current testers will only need to update their Client Tool. The update will not require a re-installation, and all of the testing data in your Client Tool will be preserved.

For new testers, a Gamma A installation will be provided.

Instructions for current and new testers will be provided when the Gamma A version is released.

If you have any questions, please send an email to ecmps-beta@pqa.com.
