Environment

Cause

An abend or other error occurred which IBM, or another software vendor, could not diagnose without Broadcom Assistance.

Resolution

Open a support case either online, or by calling the support line. 

Provide the following documentation:   

 - The contents of the ETR or case with the other vendor.  

 - Screenshots of what you see there, if applicable.

 - The tersed copy of the archived OPSLOG from when the problem occurred.

Broadcom will be happy to participate in a joint call with the other vendor to discuss our findings; however, Broadcom cannot make an initial reach out to another vendor on behalf of a customer.   Such interactions must be initiated by the customer.   We appreciate your understanding in this matter.
