There's a rather old (and somewhat strident) blog on this at https://blogs.oracle.com/Support/entry/support_escalation_processagai The escalation process is also described in the "Working Effectively with Support" webcast which runs IIRC monthly. There's also unsurprisingly a document on the process on MOS itself "How To Escalate a Service Request (SR) with Oracle Support Services [ID 199389.1] ". Phoning is the way to go. Its also rather important *not* to confuse escalation with *severity *changes which should be dealt with through the normal contact mechanisms. Incidentally the escalation process is part of Oracle's pre-sales pitch to purchasing managers, usually this never gets communicated to the people who actually need to escalate. -- Niall Litchfield Oracle DBA http://www.orawin.info -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
