In-Place Upgrade NetWare to Open Enterprise Server
Currently, Novell doesn't support an in-place upgrade from NetWare to OES. This has prevented some customers from upgrading to OES.
To address this shortcoming, Novell Consulting is investigating a procedure that allows customers to perform an in-place upgrade when certain prerequisites are met.

16 new videos for creating forms in Vibe OnPrem
The Resource Library has added a new set of videos focused on what started it all, Forms and Workflows.

SimplyBox integration for Vibe OnPrem
SimplyBox provides Vibe OnPrem users with a powerful "business execution hub," by leveraging their fragment products with Vibe's landing page layout. Enterprise users interact with multiple applications in order to get their jobs done. As they interact with these applications they often have the need to engage or collaborate with their peers. SimplyBox allows the user to add a layer of collaboration directly on top of the applications they use. This means if a user needs to get work done in ERP and Vibe they won't have to leave Vibe because the SimplyBox fragment will allow them to get things done inside Vibe.
