It can take a bit, as Mike said, for the order to actually arrive, BUT your BP should know what is chargeable, what you have licensed, etc. I don't have to go through a system group or even my boss for these kinds of things: just email the BP and, unless he's out of town, I've got a confirmation within an hour that the order has been placed. I've done this with WDSc and iSeries Navigator with the same turn around. Al (my BP) apparently knows what he's doing; but, then,. we always suspected that (as well as a few other things).


So that's a long answer to your question:  No, it ain't normal.

I initiated a request through our systems group to order WDSCi 6.0 back in
the middle of June.  I was cc'd on an email that was sent to our BP
(Sirius), requesting this, so I know Sirius is in the loop.

Last Wednesday (7/5), I inquired to our systems group to see if they had
gotten any response.  I was told that our Sirius rep was still looking
into
it, not sure whether it was a chargeable item.  I responded that this is a
no-charge item, since we have software subscription and have 5722WDS; our
systems group concurred.  After inquiring again two days ago, still no
word
from Sirius.

So, my question is this.  Is it still (from my experience years ago doing
sysadmin work) always this painful trying to get software from a
BP?  Should
I start being a squeaky wheel?  If so, to whom?  I have to be somewhat
selective since I am relatively new here, have never had a face-to-face
with
our systems group people, and don't want to come off the wrong way.  I
have
the email address to our Sirius contact, but, but, it starts going over
people's heads.  I might just take this to my boss and let her give me
direction on this, but before I do, can someone tell me if this is a
normal
delay and I should wait it out a few more weeks?

TIA,
Dan
