Support for Developers

If you are seeking software/application support, we recommend the following procedures:

  1. If you are a Stragegic Partner: Contact your assigned application support representative. If you do not know who that person is, send email to devextacctsupport@sgi.com.
  2. If you are a Developer Plus level ISV and have acquired current DOC support, you can open a DOC CALL(see below)
  3. Otherwise, please see http://www.sgi.com/developers/resources/ for a list of resources available to developers.
