Updating the SR asking for escalation is *absolutely not* the way Oracle
support wants us to escalate. 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.
