File naming convention


When you create the terse archive, using the following naming convention allows the support tools to move the testcase automatically to the proper directories and update the PMR to indicate that the testcase is available.

If the testcase files cannot be associated with an existing PMR, they will be tagged as lost and eventually deleted.

xxxxx.bbb.ccc.yyy.yyy --->

 Field  Explanation  Sample
xxxxx PMR Number 34143
bbb Branch Office 055
ccc IBM Country Code 724
yyy.yyy A short description for the file type zip or tar
 

  
Example

34143.055.724.zip
(pmr_#.branch_office_#.country_code.zip)

Some additional remarks:

  • to reduce reaction time, inform your IBM software support about the transfered files
  • the material will be automatically deleted after 7 days
  • the FTP GET and LS options are intentionally disabled
