Hello everyone, and welcome to this edition of Shadowbase Support Tips.

The Customer Portal is a secure area within the Gravic Shadowbase domain where our licensed users gain access to a variety of additional Shadowbase information. Located under the banner of the Gravic website’s Shadowbase home page is a tab for Support. Mouse over this option to see a variety of Support-related components, among which is the Customer Portal.

The Portal is broken down into several areas:

Product Releases: This page contains links to the latest certified releases of Shadowbase for the NonStop and Open Server platforms.

Manuals: Use this tab to download any or all of the Shadowbase PDF documentation in the manual set by release ID or view the current Shadowbase documentation online.

SoftDocs: Gain access—for reviewing and downloading–of the product SOFTDOCS for every Open Server and NonStop release.

Notifications: This tab was recently added to the Customer Portal and provides a listing of all the product Non-Critical-Notifications—or broadcast reports—which were broadcast via email.

Submit an RFE: This area allows the user to send us a request for a new product feature or an enhancement, or a suggestion on how to eliminate or remedy a particular issue with the product.

Contact Us Use this tab to ask a question or to make a suggestion.

Literature: Click this tab to be redirected to the White Paper and Case Study areas of the Shadowbase website.

Knowledgebase: The section of the portal that’s perhaps growing the fastest. This area provides a query-able section that allows you to search for specific product information, how-to’s, gotcha’s, and other operation answers.
