Authorizing IBM Business Partners to View Graphs
As mentioned in the Terms and Conditions section, end users may choose to allow their PM for
Power Systems graphs to be viewed by an authorized IBM Business Partner. This is completely
at the end user’s discretion and is under their control.
To authorize a specific Business Partner (or Partners), the end user must complete the Business
Partner Authorization form. This form is accessed by clicking on the ‘man with a briefcase’ icon
shown in the SIP (as illustrated above). When this icon is accessed, a new screen is presented
for the end user to complete that details which Business Partner firm should have access. All
fields on the form need to be completed including the Business Partners’ Customer Enterprise ID
(CEID). The Business Partner should be able to provide this CEID to the end user on their
behalf.
Remember the SIP is available only after the system or partition has been transmitting PM data
and the partition / system has been ‘registered’. (See Registering the Partition to a Group’
above.)
With the end user’s authorization, the Business Partner is able to sign onto the PM for Power
Systems web site and review the end user’s PM for Power Systems graphs. (The Business
Partner is not signing onto the end user’s system.) This should aid the Business Partner by
helping them more easily service and support the system.
The end user has the right to remove any Business Partner firm at any time from authorization by
simply using the same icon to process a ‘remove’. End users also may authorize more than one
Business Partner firm at a time for access.
Here are screen shot examples of the authorization process.
Select this icon on the SIP to access the Business Partner Authorization form.
