Chapter 2: Initiating a Rocket Technical Support
Case
Rocket Customer Portal overview
The centerpiece of Rocket Technical Support is the Rocket Customer Portal (RCP), which is a secure, easy-to-use web portal that provides a place for you to obtain products, maintenance, documentation, and technical support.
The Rocket Customer Portal is your direct link to Rocket’s team of technical support engineers and software developers, who strive to provide you with a rapid response, technical expertise, regular communication, and professional courtesy.
You can use the Rocket Customer Portal from a secure web browser session. Depending on your permissions, you can access the following functions:
▪ Cases: Contact Rocket Technical Support by creating a new Case, or manage your existing Cases. ▪ Solutions: Review existing solutions.
▪ Downloads: Download products, solutions, and documentation.
▪ License Keys: Obtain or retrieve previously generated product license keys. ▪ Documentation Library: View existing documentation.
Before contacting Rocket Technical Support
In order to understand and resolve your Case effectively, it is important that you gather information about the problem you are experiencing before contacting customer support. To help us fulfill your request, prepare the following information before contacting Rocket Technical Support:
Description of the issue and your environment
Prepare a detailed description of the issue that you are experiencing and specifics of your environment or system configuration. Be as specific as possible in explaining the problem or question. This helps our technical support engineers and developers provide you with the correct solution in a timely fashion.
Background information
Be prepared to answer the following questions. Enter your answers online when creating a new Case on the Rocket Customer Portal, or have your answers ready when creating a new Case by phone.
▪ What levels/versions of software were you running when the problem occurred? Include all relevant information such as the operating system and related products.
▪ Has the problem happened before, or is it an isolated incident? ▪ What steps led to the failure?
▪ Can the problem be re-created? If so, what steps are required? ▪ Have any changes been made to the system?
Business Impact
Diagnostic information
Attach any relevant memory dumps, traces, or error logs to the Rocket Customer Portal Case for review by an engineer. This helps our engineers resolve your problem. Gathering this information is often the most critical step in resolving your software problem. If you are unsure about
what documentation is required, you can contact us for assistance in gathering the necessary diagnostic information.
Case Severity
Determine a severity level if you open a Case through the Rocket Customer Portal. The severity level is determined by how severely your computing system is affected by the software problem. The severity level dictates the initial response time and follow-up notification times that you will receive from Rocket Technical Support. See Case severity and response goals, on page 12 for more information about determining a severity level for your Case.
Business impact statement
A Business Impact statement is required for all Cases to quantify the severity of the problem. This statement describes the effect that a Case is having on your operations. The Business Impact statement helps provide a business context for the technical problem that Support Engineers are working to resolve. It is important to update the Support Engineer if the Business Impact has changed at any point throughout the lifecycle of the Case. See Business Impact, on page 11 for more information about the business impact of an issue.
Business Impact
In addition to the technical description of the problem, a Business Impact statement is required to enable Rocket Technical Support to understand the effect that a particular problem is having on your business. Sometimes the impact is obvious, such as when a system is down. At other times, it is not as obvious. The Business Impact statement ensures that an issue that is significantly impacting your business will not be underestimated.
When writing a Business Impact statement, consider the following questions and include all information that is applicable to your situation:
▪ Is the issue affecting a production system? ▪ How many users are affected by the issue? ▪ Is a business deadline being impacted?
▪ Does the issue directly affect customers or partners of your company?
▪ Does the issue directly affect a service that you provide to your customers, partners, or both? ▪ Is the issue directly impacting the revenue your company earns?
▪ Do you need to work 24x7 together with Rocket until the problem is resolved?
Note: You can open a Case anytime if you perceive a problem with your Rocket product, even if there is no significant impact to your business.
Review the following examples of Case Business Impact statements:
Example 1
Technical description
Customer’s web servers are running slowly.
Business Impact statement
Chapter 2: Initiating a Rocket Technical Support Case

Example 2
Technical description
Customer is getting a printer driver error that does not allow them to print.
Business Impact statement
Customer is a parcel/document courier service. They have a plane waiting at an airport and it cannot depart because the paperwork cannot be printed.
Example 3
Case severity and response goals
The Severity level is determined by how severely your computing system is affected by the software problem. You must assign a Severity level to a Case when you report it.
The Severity level dictates the initial response time and follow-up notification times that you receive from the Rocket Technical Support team. Initial response times are provided in the following table, and follow-up times are provided in the Severity level definitions.
Table 1: Initial response time for Severity level
Severity Impact Response Goal*
Severity 1 Critical business impact Within one hour
Severity 2 Significant business impact Within four business hours Severity 3 Some business impact Within one business day Severity 4 Minimal business impact Within one business day
Severity 1
Critical Impact/System Down: A critical business software component is inoperable. You are unable to use the program, which results in a critical impact on your business operations. This condition requires an immediate solution.
Severity 1 requires maximum effort support until an emergency fix or bypass is developed and available. Critical situations might require customer and Rocket personnel to be at their respective work locations on an around-the-clock basis. The objective is to provide you relief for the problem within 24 hours and provide a final solution or fix within 7 days. You receive a follow-up about a Severity 1 Case from Rocket Technical Sfollow-upport within 24 hours.
Severity 2
Significant business impact: The program is usable but severely limited. You will receive a follow-up about a Severity 2 Case from Rocket Technical Sfollow-upport within 5 days.
Severity 3
Some business impact: The program is usable with less significant features unavailable. The features unavailable are not critical to your operations. You receive a follow-up about a Severity 3 Case from Rocket Technical Support within 10 days unless another agreement has been decided upon.
Severity 4
Minimal business impact: The problem causes little impact on your operations or a reasonable circumvention to the problem has been implemented.

Note: If you close multiple Cases in 24 hours, you will not receive multiple Customer Satisfaction Survey emails, but you can go to the Rocket Customer Portal and complete a survey for a closed Case at any time. Select a Case from the Closed Cases page to complete a survey for it.
See Providing feedback, on page 29 for more information about completing this survey.
Case Auto Closure process
The Case Auto Closure Process is automatically triggered when a Case that is in Customer status or Solution Given status is not updated in 7 days. If this happens, you will receive the following notifications:
1. An initial email is sent from Rocket notifying you that Rocket Technical Support is awaiting your response to a Customer status or Solution Given status Case, and you have not responded in 7 days:
We updated your case 7 days ago. Do you have additional questions? You can reply to this message. There will be another reminder in 7 days if the case remains unchanged.
2. After an additional 7 days, or 14 days from the initial notification, if you have not yet responded, Rocket sends another email reminding you that you have not yet responded:
We updated your case 14 days ago. Do you have additional questions? You can reply to this message. There will be one final reminder in 7 days if the case remains unchanged.
3. After an additional 7 days, or 21 days from the initial notification, if you have not yet responded, Rocket sends another email reminding you that your Case will be closed in 7 days.
We updated your case 21 days ago. Do you have additional questions? You can reply to this message. The case will close automatically in 7 days if it remains unchanged. You can always reopen a case by clicking the case Summary field, or from the Rocket Customer Portal at http://support.rocketsoftware.com.
Providing feedback
4. After an additional 7 days, or 28 days from the initial notification, if you have not yet responded, Rocket will close your Case and change the Case status to Closed. You will not receive an email reminder.
When the Auto Closure service starts, the Case status will change to Auto Closure. When an automated message reminder is sent to you, your Case comment section will be updated automatically. If a Case is closed by the Auto Closure Service, no Customer Satisfaction Survey is sent.
Note: Updating a Case through the Rocket Customer Portal will take the Case out of Auto Closure. Replying to the first or second email notification from Rocket about your Case will also take the Case out of Auto Closure. After you receive the third email notification from Rocket, or when your Case has been closed after 28 days, you must log into the RCP to reopen the Case.
Providing feedback
When you close a Case, you will receive an email that contains a link to a Customer Satisfaction Survey. Complete the Customer Satisfaction Survey to provide feedback about your experience with Rocket Technical Support.
Chapter 3: Using the Rocket Customer Portal

1. Within the Customer Satisfaction Survey email, click the link to the Customer Satisfaction Survey and take a moment to answer the questions. You must answer all questions before you can click
Submit.
Figure 20: Customer Satisfaction Survey
You can select from various radio buttons (Very Satisfied, Satisfied, Neither satisfied nor dissatisfied, Dissatisfied, or Very Dissatisfied) to provide feedback.
You can also provide feedback in the Additional Feedback field, and answer the question How likely is it that you would recommend Rocket Software to a friend or colleague by selecting one of the radio buttons from Very Likely to Very Unlikely.
If you select a Dissatisfied or Very Dissatisfied radio button, the Do you wish to file a formal complaint? check box appears.
If you submit a survey with the Do you wish to file a formal complaint? check box selected, an automated email is sent to the Rocket Technical Support Engineer, his/her 1st level manager, the Vice President of Rocket Technical Support.
If you submit a survey with any variation of radio buttons selected, with the exception of the Very Dissatisfied radio button, an automated email is sent to the Rocket Technical Support Engineer and his/her 1st level manager.
If you submit a survey with the Very Dissatisfied check box selected, or with the Do you wish to file a formal complaint? check box selected, an automated email is sent to the Rocket Technical Support Engineer, his/her 1st level manager, and the Managing Director of Rocket Technical Support.
2. Optional: To complete a survey for a closed Case:
a. Select Closed Cases from the Cases menu. Select the Case for which you want to complete a survey.
b. On the Case Detail page, select the Surveyed check box to display the survey, and follow the instructions above to complete it. If the Surveyed check box is already selected, then this indicates that a survey was already completed for this Case and can be viewed but not edited.
Reopening Cases
If you closed multiple Cases in 24 hours, you will not receive multiple Customer Satisfaction Survey emails, but you can go to the Rocket Customer Portal and complete a survey for a closed Case at any time.
You can also provide general feedback about Rocket Technical Support by sending an email to [email protected] with the subject line "Feedback to Rocket Technical Support Director." This email is sent to the director of Rocket Technical Support.
If you do not receive a Customer Satisfaction Survey email after closing a Case, or you did not take the survey when you received the email, you can always return to the portal to take the survey. You can also view a survey that you have already submitted.

Bug
Bugs are created in Rocket.Track to track a software problem that needs to be resolved.
C
Case
A Case is a record of a customer’s request, problem, or question. Cases are generally created by customers in the Rocket Customer Portal (RCP) to address a problem they need to resolve. RCP customer-created Cases automatically create related Cases in Rocket.Track.
