Up to version 10.0 there was a dispaly of startup progress when one tried to connect to a dataminer agent that was busy starting up.

As we upgraded to 10.2 this info is no more available. A simple message is displayed that the agent can not be connected and MIGHT be starting.

In a more distent past there was even a very nice overview availabe by clicking right corner menu of the client and a list of all dataminers with their current status/start porgress was available but this was already removed in version 10.0 (although it was a very usefull feature). One was directed to the system center but even there there was no progress information available.

So it looks like in 10.2 the last (more or less) convenient way to monitor a dataminer startup has been thrown away.

Very sad to see once more a useful feature being removed...
