The discussion on IBM-MAIN covered the fact that you don't need extra cost services to open PMRs (SR's) www.ibm.com/support and there was also a reference to the granular APAR search that used to be under IBMLINK AST (iirc).

Discussion about IBM SW Excel withdrawal
I seem to remember a recent IBM-MAIN discussion about IBM withdrawal of SW EXCEL or some portion thereof, and alternatives for the different services such as APAR search. I can't find either the IBM-MAIN discussion or the IBM announcement that started it all. My boss asked about our budget amount for SW EXCEL and I'm trying to follow up, but I seem to be search impaired today. Much obliged if anyone can point me to either one or both of the above items.
