This has been going on long enough. There seems to be a lack of planning
and stakeholder analysis. Perhaps the time is right for a signed
petition listing the issues, demanding change and requiring that BMC
address the problems at RUG. 

What a painful post. It's right there with the parental saying 'This
hurts me more than it hurts you.'
Any thoughts?

Subject: Re: Who's in charge of support at BMC?

Bing,

I appreciate the offer for special assistance. ( You will likely not be
surprised to know that you are actually not the first member of this
community to offer such help. Have I mentioned lately that this is the
best group of "co-workers" that I have ever had the pleasure of working
with? )

However the details of the technical issue are, at this point, not
really the more important issue. I think the BMC support process is
broke and their customers have little to no apparent way to actually
receive any functional resolution to their problems.

On this technical issue:

  I have been patient and sent in the same set of useless log files,
multiple times, at the request of Tech support.

  I have answered the same set of useless questions, multiple times, at
the request of Tech support.

  I have asked to have the issue transferred to another Tech support
person. (That request has gone nowhere.)

  I have been patient and waited for a "debug server" to actually have
some extra logging to diagnose the issue. (That has gone nowhere.)

  I have asked for my sales rep to help. (That has gone nowhere.)

  As a last resort, I have appealed to the community in the hopes that
others that suffer the same fate might be brave enough to stand next to
me. (And hope that such a display might show BMC that their process is
really broke.)



FWIW: I appear to have a voice mail this AM from a different person
about this issue. I will have to wait to see if they might actually have
transferred the issue to a different agent. Let me also give credit
where it is due. If I had not have to leave the office early yesterday
to attend a funeral, they would have actually been able to reach me at
the time that they called. ( Most calls I get here on the east cost are
after the normal business hours of  8AM - 5PM. This call was actually in
the normal business hours window. :) Now I get to wait until they are
"open" and give them a call. The phone number is a California number. :)

Maybe I have a little hope of improvement at this point.
I wonder if this thread had anything to do with the change in direction
for how BMC is handling the issue? Or maybe I was just "to impatient" to
wait for a response. Hum...
