26 th, November 2018 NUANCE TECHNICAL SUPPORT/ Version 2.6 6 What to Include when Submitting an Incident Describe any question(s) or problem(s) you have in as much detail as you can. For instance, it's usually helpful for Nuance Technical Support to understand: What are you trying to accomplish, over all? What did you expect to happen? What happened instead? How repeatable is the problem? Does a given problem only appear in one context, but everything works okay in another context? If everything used to work for some time, then the problem started appearing, do you know of any changes that were made? What else might have changed? Are any messages, especially error messages, seen anywhere? Please include as much diagnostic information as you can: Configuration files. Command lines used to start applications Debug logs. Nuance System Administrators restrict emails attachments to 2M or less in size. You may work around this restriction by sending large attachments in separate emails. Or you may want to upload files to Nuance's ftp site. Once you open the incident, the Nuance Technical Support engineer will provide you with FTP instructions. In addition, please be sure the support tracking incident report includes: Your name. Your company's name. Your telephone number. Product and version of your Nuance software. Operating system, for example Windows 2003, Linux 4.0 VXML platform or Telephony board. (vendor, model & version)
