What is changing in the Informix Support experience?

Answer

The move to the improved support experience should be seamless to you.
Specifically:

· The e-mail and phone support channels offered to you today will remain unchanged.
· Bookmarks and existing access methods will automatically connect to the new Support Community when Informix is selected as the product.
· The current Support Portal URLs will continue to work, or you can use a new URL to reach the new Support experience directly: https://www.ibm.com/mysupport
· Any existing PMRs will be automatically converted to “Cases” in the new tool. Simply choose “cases” from the Informix support landing page to see status or make updates

We know you may have other IBM products and those too will be migrating to this new experience over time. Your experience with Informix support will continue to evolve as well. Among other improvements, we’re incorporating IBM Watson technology, and providing a truly “one-stop shop” for Customer Support related information for Informix.

You will know that Informix has been migrated, once it appears in the product selection area on the new Support Community. Directions for accessing the Community once Informix has migrated:
1) Go to www.ibm.com/mysupport ,where you can select your product.
2) For a personalized experience, you can login with your IBM ID.

If you do not have an IBM ID, go here to sign up for one https://www.ibm.com/account/us-en/signup/register.html.
Note: You can also start in the legacy Service Request Tool(https://www-947.ibm.com/support/servicerequest/), and once Informix has been migrated you will be automatically redirected to the new experience.

If you are experiencing a problem with the portal (such as a login issue, etc.), we are here to help. You can submit your issue via our Support Community by clicking “Email IBM Support”, or emailing spe@us.ibm.com and we will get back to you as quickly as possible.
