Abstract

Due to changes introduced in the Support Platform, the WRKPRB entries related to Software are no longer accepted when manually reported in OS 7.4 and older.
Starting 7.5, the ability to report a Software problem entry was removed.

The ability to automatically report Software problem entries (Call Home) was already disabled at OS level.
