General Questions


What is Support Center?
Support center is a sophisticated application accessible using your browser or mobile device which enables you to communicate with support engineers in order to assist you with our services.

How much time it takes to get a response?
It usually takes between 1 hour to 24 hours to our support engineer to get back to you initially, subsequent conversation can be quick than initial response time to you.

Is there a possibility of getting support off hours?
Yes depending on your support program you can be eligible for 24 hours support availability and even on weekends and public holidays.

Status Messages, what are they?
Every support ticket is assigned with status message as it is entered by you and resolved by our engineers. Status messages are:

New
Opened
Pending Close
Closed
Re Opened

Whenever you enter a new support ticket into the system, by default its assigned a new status by the support system.

When our engineer starts working on a ticket they set the status to opened.

When a question is asked from you, you normally receive an automated email stating that you have to reply in 48 hours of time to the ticket with updates requested by support engineer otherwise the support ticket will be automatically closed. In this state the system automatically assigns the pending close status to your ticket. As soon as you submit your response to the support ticket the status will be automatically changed to opened.

Whenever problem is resolved or a response for specific requested information is not received from you within 48 hours, the ticket is automatically closed and the status is set to closed.

Whenever a ticket is closed it can be reopened by you or by a support engineer in order to further the pursuance of the same context the ticket was addressed to. Whenever this is done the status of ticket is set to re opened.

General Problems


The system does not accept my password, what to do now?
For security reasons and data protection, we have not placed automated forgot password mechanism on to the system. You are required to send an email to your account manager in order to have your password reset.

I clicked on the link in the email to reset my password, but it did not work?
Some email clients like old AOL clients wrap or break the internet web address sent to you to reset your password. In order to reset your password you have to copy the complete internet web address and paste it into your browser.

Unfortunately file type of my attachment I am trying to upload is not accepted, what can I do now?
Support system accepts only general and widely available file types. If you are trying to attach log files or bash output files which normally ends with .bin or .dat, please use compression software like PowerArchiver or WinZip to compress these files into another file and then attach that file.

I receive General maintenance error. Try again in a while.
Support system is automatically set to take backup snapshots of information after every 12 hours. The automated backup process lasts in 1 to 2 minutes. During the time of the automated backup system everything remains working but new user signing in is temporarily disabled. If you encountered this error then try after 1 or 2 minutes of the receipt of this error and you will find it working fine.
