 Looking at software renewals, and I was asked about several.  This stumped me.
 
 I read the Getting Started Guide to Technical Support Services for IBM 
 zSeries Software at http://www-
 935.ibm.com/services/us/its/pdf/swxcel.pdf.
  It is a whopping 2 paragraphs, and no detail.
 
 The description on IBM's web site under IBM Products and Services ( 
 https://www-
 304.ibm.com/shop/americas/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/default/CategoryDisplay?catalogId=-
 840storeId=1langId=-1dualCurrId=73categoryId=2364419go=
 ) is just as useful.
 
 If all I have is z/OS on my hardware, what does Resolve provide me that my 
 ServiceLink money does not?

IIRC, Resolve includes what used to be known as TechQA while Servicelink does 
not.

Thanks, John.

Found a SHARE presentation that shows Resolve is one of the Electronic 
Support offerings.  I didn't even know that, having nothing to do with the 
contracts.

Since I was asked the question without seeing the contract, guess I need 
to see what all we're actually paying for.
