Obtaining the user certificate from Shopz is a one time event... well, 
once a year.  Once you have a certificate, you don't need to interact 
with Shopz again to order and download PTFs using SMP/E.

Really...? That sounds very convenient - certainly for those of us using
zPDTs. But in the "Preparaing to use Internet service retrieval" chapter in

To our Valued IBM Clients:

IBM will be engaged in a system migration beginning on August 16, 2019 which 
will impact the ability for you to place a Shopz Product Order up to and 
including August 22, 2019. (Service Orders will NOT be impacted.)

In the event of an emergency during this time, please contact your IBM Sales 
Representative for assistance. Thank you.

The affected countries are as follows:
USA, US
Canada, CA
Puerto Rico, US
Guam, GU
Virgin Island, VI

We recommend leaving enough lead time by submitting orders for processing 
before August 15, so they will have time to complete.

The change is generally transparent to you. After the migration is complete, 
your access and order history won't be affected.

Customer Number IMPACT after migration: There will be a change to your customer 
number after the migration. The new customer number will be 9 digits prefaced 
by a "S", for example, 'S012345678'. You can find the old and new customer 
number mapping relationship under "My preferences" page after you log into 
Shopz successfully.

We apologize for the inconvenience.

Should you have any further questions, please engage our support team via 
channels listed in Customer service page.

Agreed! IBM would not take down WWW.IBM.COM for 4 days. 
Why should we have to put up with this attitude?

2019-07-24 Thread Allan Staller
What is wrong with this picture?
Their Flagship is available 99.99% of the time.
Why can’t the support systems match the availability?

BTW, what if someone needs to obtain a PTF in that interval? What do they do 
then?

Refrain:
The new tools are neither as reliable, available, or serviceable as those that 
are being replaced.

IMO, there is usually less function as well.

To our Valued IBM Clients:

IBM will be engaged in a system migration beginning on August 16, 2019 which 
will impact the ability for you to place a Shopz Product Order up to and 
including August 22, 2019. (Service Orders will NOT be impacted.)

In the event of an emergency during this time, please contact your IBM Sales 
Representative for assistance. Thank you.

The affected countries are as follows:
USA, US
Canada, CA
Puerto Rico, US
Guam, GU
Virgin Island, VI

We recommend leaving enough lead time by submitting orders for processing 
before August 15, so they will have time to complete.

The change is generally transparent to you. After the migration is complete, 
your access and order history won't be affected.

Customer Number IMPACT after migration: There will be a change to your customer 
number after the migration. The new customer number will be 9 digits prefaced 
by a "S", for example, 'S012345678'. You can find the old and new customer 
number mapping relationship under "My preferences" page after you log into 
Shopz successfully.

We apologize for the inconvenience.

Should you have any further questions, please engage our support team via 
channels listed in Customer service page.
