Indeed, I was able to login with my IBM ID, but then ran into the "need to register for support" blockage.

In that context, can you please direct me to the site where I can
check the status of an APAR?

I sent an email to this list this morning asking about APAR SE57177
relating to key list order in the Rdi outline.


The IBM website under the heading "Support & Service" [gray heading] offers a /Support Portal/ under a heading _Technical Support_ that provides a search feature [Search Support and Downloads] that includes searching APARs for the RDi. Note: the stuff after the question mark in the following portal link are added from my IBM ID; e.g. "usen"
identifying my chosen language, and perhaps other chosen settings:
<http://www-947.ibm.com/support/entry/portal/support?lnk=msdTS-supo-usen>

The more generic and succinct link to that portal is just:
<http://www.ibm.com/support/>

And FWiW: For IBM i products, the following support page is for APAR
searches:
<http://www-912.ibm.com/n_dir/nas4apar.nsf/nas4aparhome>

I do not know if there is a more specific search page for APAR searches of Rational products [or the Toronto support center] like there is for APAR searches of IBM i products [or the Rochester support center]. But visiting the other links under the _Technical Support_ heading under the site-level _Support & Downloads_ might be helpful, esp. when logged in with an IBM ID [which IIRC enables setting up product lists and possibly entitlement information]. The "Find info[rmation]" tab\link under the _Explore IBM Electronic Support_ [link below] provides some details about the portal, content, and search; though each just redirects to the portal for taking ation:
<http://www.ibm.com/support/electronicsupport>

However, although I was able to "search" and locate the APAR SE57177, the actual content is protected [an icon of a "key" preceding it] so my clicking on the link redirects to a "Get access To entitled resources"
page, because my IBM ID is a generic public ID with no entitlements
associated:
<https://www-304.ibm.com/support/entitlement/GetAccess.wss>

Thus I believe you will still be stuck with the "need to register for support" as noted in <http://archive.midrange.com/wdsci-l/201402/msg00101.html> is required for opening a PMR, before being able to actually access that APAR [e.g.
to subscribe to its content]. So although the APAR is OPEN, the information is not [yet] truly\fully "public" as alluded by Edmund in <http://archive.midrange.com/wdsci-l/201402/msg00106.html>.
