Initially, an analysis of the problem caused by the error is carried out by the client to check the time to act on the solution. The more unavailability the error causes, the more immediate the action will be.

Time to start the service: up to 6 hours.

  • Priority 2: Operating System with low restrictions.

The system continues to function but has problems in certain functionalities that do not compromise its security or prevent the performance of priority tasks for which it is intended (e.g., print server inoperative, graphic presentation functionalities do not work properly, etc.).


Time to start service: up to 24 hours.
