Contacting IBM

IBM® Support assists with product defects. If you need help to resolve an issue, you can open a case with IBM Support.

Before you begin

Ensure that your company has an active IBM software subscription and support contract, and that you are authorized to submit problems to IBM.

Procedure

To open a case with IBM Support, complete the following steps:

  1. Before you contact IBM Support, review the topics in this Monitoring and troubleshooting section to see whether you can resolve the issue on your own.
  2. If you cannot resolve the issue, or if you are directed to contact Support, go to Gathering diagnostic information. Then, follow the instructions to collect diagnostic data that you can send to IBM Support to aid with problem investigation.
  3. Contact IBM Support.
    1. Go to the IBM Support Guide, which provides information about how to contact IBM, and includes details of all your other support needs.

      (The remaining steps in this procedure specifically relate to opening a case from the IBM Support site, but you might also be able to use a chat or the phone as described in the IBM Support Guide.)

    2. Log in to the IBM Support site and then open a case to submit your problem.
    3. Complete the form to provide a detailed summary of the problem.
      • Choose Cloud Pak for Integration or App Connect Enterprise as the product name (as appropriate).
      • Include details about your environment such as the product version, the deployment platform and version (for example, Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform or Kubernetes), the Operator versions, and the operand versions of any affected custom resource types.
      • Include a severity and the sequence of steps that led to the failure.
      • Upload the diagnostic data that you collected in step 2. Also, attach any screen captures if appropriate.
    4. Submit the case.
