Support
Limited Defect Support:
CP3KEXTR is an “as is” program; defect support is not provided via the normal IBM support structure. Instead, report problems via email to zpcr@us.ibm.com.
Defect support will not be staffed on a 24 x 7 basis. Responses to defect inquiries will be made on a best effort basis but generally should be expected within 48 hours.
