Trouble

ticket

Because

there

is

no

way

to

transmit

information

through

file

transfer

or

e-mail

from

the

Rescue

and

Recovery

environment,

the

end

user

is

directed

to

use

the

e-mail

function

integrated

in

the

browser.

The

logging

function

packages

the

log

events

into

a

file,

and

directs

the

end

user

to

e-mail

the

file

after

he

or

she

completes

the

recovery

process

and

logs

onto

Windows.

The

file

received

from

the

end

user

creates

the

Req

115

Trouble

Ticket

XML

file,

which

combines

(Current,

HW,

eGatherer,

and

PCDR

diagnostic

log

information),

and

will

be

placed

in

a

location

which

can

be

easily

found

and

accessible

from

both

the

Rescue

and

Recovery

environment

and

operating

system

C:\SWSHARE.

The

tool

available

in

the

Predesktop

Area

of

are

stored

in

a

manner

which

can

be

viewed

or
