Support levels
CRITICAL (Priority 1) — the problem results in extremely serious interruptions to a customer’s operation. It has affected, or could affect, the entire user community. URGENT (Priority 2) — the problem results in serious interruptions to normal business operations. In a production system, important tasks cannot be performed, but the error does not impair essential operations, processing can still continue in a restricted manner, and data integrity may be at risk. IMPORTANT (Priority 3) — the problem causes interruptions in normal operations. It does not prevent operation of a system, or there could be minor degradation in performance. MINOR (Priority 4) — the problem results in minimal or no interruptions to normal operations (no business impact). The target response times for correcting errors are as follows: Priority 1: 2 business days. Priority 2: 4 business days. Priority 3: 6 business days. Priority 4: 8 business days.
