Collecting Data for IBM Work Optimization for Water Utilities

Collecting data early, even before opening the PMR, helps IBM Support quickly determine if:

• Symptoms match known problems (rediscovery)
• There is a non-defect problem that can be identified and resolved
• There is a defect and a workaround exists to provide relief

First, if you have not already done so, provide a problem description.

• Detailed instructions for how to recreate the issue
• The names of any models, events, or metrics that might be involved in the issue
• How often the problem occurs. Include details about recent problem occurrences along with timestamps
• Any workarounds used for the issue
• The impact this issue is having on your business, including:
• Any upcoming deadlines and dates
• If the problem is seen in production, development, or testing
• Any realized or potential affect on users
