I received a reply from BMC / Remedy on my initial request about filling the gap left by the ESP tool:
The disposition of this RFE has been set to Slotted for future release. Thanks for your feedback, BMC Product Management

Does anyone have an idea on a timeline on what is meant by “…future release….”?

That's good to hear! As far as "future release", they're probably talking about a major release... so, maybe, possibly, sometime next year...? If they're talking about the "next" future release.... if they're not
talking about the "next" major release, it could be a while...

Thanks for the update!

Any News? Someone?

Matt - do you know if this was in anyway addressed or mentioned during this years RUG?

I was unable to attend this year's RUG, so I don't know if it was addressed. Maybe someone else will know the answer.

Sorry!

Does anyone has a solution for this problem? Do we have to buy another solution?

Is this product still available?

No it is not. Ed Brown passed away and his widow closed down his business.

Sorry.

Wow that is terrible news. I was one of his first customers. He was a great guy and always answered my questions no matter how dumb they were.

Yeah, everyone was very shocked when it happened! I enjoyed the conversations that he and I had. We'll all miss him.
