Question

If the issue is deemed to be resolved by the IBM® Support engineer, the Support team representative requests to close the case. The support representative closes the case either upon confirmation from the client, or if upon multiple requests, there is no client response.

Note: IBM® Support requires a new case for each separate issue, open a new case if the same issue addressed in this case and on the same system, did not reoccur.
