Objection entered via feedback. I much prefer 3270 for my use of ibmlink. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Edward Jaffe Sent: Tuesday, January 02, 2007 10:28 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Withdrawal of VM ServiceLink
This seems premature, especially given IBMLink's recent spate of web-based outages. I personally dislike ETR via the web interface. (Other functions I can deal with to some extent.) If you feel similarly, please complain ... and *not* about the fact that they can't spell "withdrawal" ... | Withdrawl of VM ServiceLink | | Access to ServiceLink via the VM mode (green screen) will be removed on | March 31, 2007. ServiceLink will only be available through: | www.ibm.com/ibmlink | The internet version of ServiceLink has been embraced by our customers | as a safe and secure method of obtaining technical support and software | maintenance for their zSeries system. Many new features have been added | to the ServiceLink applications on the web that are not on the VM | version. These enhanced features include: | a) A tailored fix package for preventive and corrective service. | b) A more comprehensive Search which includes additional technical | support libraries. | c) An improved PTF ordering capability in PSP | Since ServiceLink VM is being removed, there will be no changes made to | the ServiceLink vm code to support the new 2007 daylight saving time | extension. | | If you have not accessed ServiceLink from the web, we encourage you | to do so now. You will need to create an IBM ID in order to access | ServiceLink on the web. This is is a straight forward and easy process. | There is a "register now" link available at the ibm.com/ibmlink site | to self-register for an IBM ID if you do not have an IBM ID yet. Once | you have your IBM ID, contact your company Customer Service | Administrator (CSA) to complete the registration process, so you can | access the ServiceLink applications at www.ibm.com/ibmlink . | | By accessing ServiceLink via the web now there will be time to | familiarize yourself with any differences between the VM and web | versions of the tool prior to the end of March, 2007. | | If you need assistance in creating the new ID or using ServiceLink | on the internet, contact the IBMLink help desk at 1-800-543-3912 or | use the Feedback function. -- Edward E Jaffe Phoenix Software International, Inc 5200 W Century Blvd, Suite 800 Los Angeles, CA 90045 310-338-0400 x318 [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.phoenixsoftware.com/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
