Communities My Oracle Support Community Customer & Partners Oracle Mix Oracle Technology Network (OTN) / OSpace OracleBlogs Oracle Wiki Connect People My Oracle Support Communities • Live advisor Webcasts, actively moderated by Oracle TSC Service Product Experts • Exchange knowledge and best practices proactively with your peers and experts in Oracle product support • Expand your knowledge with Webcasts, events, tips and tricks, white papers, news and Announcements • Take advantage of a personalized, experience across Oracle's full stack of software and hardware products based on your interests and contribution. • Oracle’s own Support engineers moderate and contribute to the communities. • Access MOS communities at: http://communities.oracle.com • ‘Oracle Sun Technologies’ User Groups

  12. Oracle SupportBest Practices and Recommendations toImprove Uptime

  13. Oracle Sun System Analysis (OSSA)  • Oracle Sun System Analysis reports identify many known issues and risks associated with systems based on Serviceability, Mission Critical items and an Operational Risk Index (ORI) • Benefits: • Improve time to repair and the probability of first call resolution • Avoid service-related calls altogether and improve staff productivity • Identify known issues based on the system's unique configuration, product, and version • Manage and mitigate risk systematically based on your business needs • Identify and prioritize resource focus on system management and maintenance

  17. Service Request Time to Diagnose 60% of all Service Requests are diagnosed within 5 hours

  18. Causes of delays in solving SRs What we see the most: • Routing issues • Data collection delays • Lack of console admin or serial connection to servers • Systems not up-to-date in terms of firmware and OS patches • Limited access sites • Remote connection not allowed

  19. Oracle Auto Service Request (ASR)

  20. Oracle Auto Service Request Faster Problem resolution, Simplified Support Operations

  21. How does ASR work?
