Follow the steps in this topic to contact IBM Software Support:

1.Determine the business impact of your problem.

2.Describe your problem and gather background information.

3.Submit your problem to IBM Software Support.

Determine the business impact of your problem: When you report a problem to IBM, you are asked to supply a severity level. Therefore, you need to understand and assess the business impact of the problem you are reporting. Use the following criteria:

Severity 1

Critical business impact: You are unable to use the program,

 

resulting in a critical impact on operations. This condition

 

requires an immediate solution.

 

 

Severity 2

Significant business impact: The program is usable but is

 

severely limited.

 

 

Severity 3

Some business impact: The program is usable with less

 

significant features (not critical to operations) unavailable.

 

 

Severity 4

Minimal business impact: The problem causes little impact on

 

operations, or a reasonable circumvention to the problem has

 

been implemented.

 

 

Describe your problem and gather background information: When explaining a problem to IBM, be as specific as possible. Include all relevant background information so that IBM Software Support specialists can help you solve the problem efficiently. To save time, know the answers to these questions:
