I am preparing to release somo datastage jobs onto production environment. Prior to that I need to define a support model. Basically I know I must have different levels of support:
- Level 1 for issues that can be resolved by the Help Desk analyst
- Level 2 for issues that requiere a datastage analyst intervention
- Level 3 for new developments or changes
What I am trying to figure out is a list of activities or problems that corresponds to each level. For instance: a failed job must go to level 2, a requirement for a new interface must go to level 3, and so on.
There are not many things that come to my mind to design a support model that covers all the possible issues

Welcome Aboard,
Well I would say, for any error that does'nt require manual intervention falls in the first category. For any error that requires a DataStage analyst to review the error message and act would come under second category. Any enhancements to the code would come under third category. The third category usually requires flows through a process of change controls and format signoffs from business etc.
