SR: Service Request tool for managing problem management records

If you cannot solve your problem using the resources available from the Support page, you can quickly open a service request.

The SR tool gives you the opportunity to create new, and update existing service requests on the Web. If you have an active support contract, you can:

• Submit and manage service request on demand: 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year.
  
• Describe your software problem and environment in your own words.
  
  
• Monitor and update all open service requests relative to a given IBM customer number regardless of whether the service requests were opened by phone or by the SR tool.
  
  
• Receive notification by email when an update has been made to your service request
  
  
• View closed service requests.
  
  
• Manage your SR Authorized Caller/User lists (only available to Primary Site Technical Contacts (PSTCs) and Secondary Site Technical Contacts (SSTCs).
  
  
• Update your SR profile, including your name, email, phone numbers, time zone, e-mail notification preferences, and the language for the e-mail notification.
  
  
• Attach files to your service requests
