Re: When the CPU phones home....

It sends different things depending upon what you have selected. If you have an 
HSC, most of the options for what it sends are set in there. If not, you can 
access the same screens from a service element. It can send a lot of 
information, but none of what it sends was important to our SOX auditors.

Call 1-800-IBM-SERV and they can help you out pretty quickly with that issue.

This year's urgent question is, "When the mainframe calls in a service 
problem to IBM, what data gets transmitted to IBM?"

Is this information published somewhere? I haven't even figure out who 
within our local IBM team I'd ask such a question of, but maybe IBM 
published the spec in case of auditors wanting to know that or something.

Thanks,
Nick

ps -- yes, it's come up about three different times this year. I suspect 
it's the same provocateur each time, but this time, that itch is finally 
getting scratched.
