LTS versions of Catalyst Blockchain Manager will be supported for at least 2 years.

In case a client who is not under a support program and has not yet installed the latest maintenance release(s) experiences any warranty cases, these warranty cases will be considered support cases. Please refer to the Service Level Agreements (SLAs) for specific timelines on issue resolution times.
Incident Management
To maintain effective communications with our customers, the handling of incidents flows through an agreed chain of actions. When issues are identified, the responsible person from the client end will carry out an impact analysis and create the incident providing the following information:
- Product name
- Summary mentioning the impact and urgency
- Description
- Organization name
- Components or products
- Supporting information (log files, configuration files, etc.)
Each incident has a unique ID number. Catalyst Blockchain Manager Support will allocate an Incident Category and Severity.
The first step in the support process is to determine the nature of the support requirement. There is a list of incident categories available to customers via the Catalyst Blockchain Manager Support Portal.The first step in the support process is to determine the nature of the support requirement.
