The Request Order Assistance (RQSORDAST) command sends a request to IBM for order assistance. You can request assistance in ordering services and products including:

• Software upgrades
• Hardware upgrades
• AS/400 information
• Service offerings
• General help (for example, network planning)

When the RQSORDAST command is successfully processed, a file containing the order information is created and sent along with the order assistance request. This file contains:

• hardware configuration information (vital product data (VPD) and topology data)
• software configuration information (installed IBM program products)

The order information file is sent with all requests.

Restrictions:

1. This command is shipped with public *EXCLUDE authority.
2. You must have *ALLOBJ authority or be signed on as QSYSOPR or QSRV to use the command.
