Problem(Abstract)
For every problem, collecting data can aid in problem determination and save time resolving Problem Management Records (PMRs). Collecting this data before calling IBM support will help you understand the problem and save time analyzing the data.
Resolving the problem
Collecting data before opening a PMR helps IBM Support determine if:
- symptoms match known problems (rediscovery).
- there is a non-defect problem that can be identified and resolved.
- there is a defect that identifies with an immediately available fix.
- there is a defect that identifies a workaround to reduce severity.
