Reporting Problems
If you are unable to solve a problem with HP APA, do the following:
1. Read the release notes for HP APA to see if the problem is known. If it is, follow the solution
offered to solve the problem.
2. Determine whether the product is still under warranty or whether your company purchased
support services for the product. Your operations manager can supply you with the necessary
information.
3. Access http://www.itrc.hp.com and search the technical knowledge databases to determine
if the problem you are experiencing has already been reported. The type of documentation
and resources you have access to depend on your level of entitlement.
NOTE: The ITRC resource forums at http://www.itrc.hp.com offer peer-to-peer support
to solve problems and are free to users after registration.
If this is a new problem or if you need additional help, log your problem with the HP
Response Center, either on line through the support case manager at http://www.itrc.hp.com,
or by calling HP Support. If your warranty has expired or if you do not have a valid support
contract for your product, you can still obtain support services for a fee, based on the amount
of time and material required to solve your problem.

Gathering Information

the problem. Attempt to describe the source and symptoms of the problem.
Include in your description: HP-UX commands used; communication subsystem commands
used; job streams; result codes and messages; and data that can reproduce the problem. Also
provide a network map with the host name, IP (Internet address), and station address of
each system connected to the HP system.
Illustrate as clearly as possible the context of any message(s). Prepare copies of information
displayed at the system console and user terminal.

version number, enter the following command:
