What is a non-SEVERITY 1 level incident?

Adobe will support investigations for these issues, but they are not considered SEVERITY 1 level incidents:

  • One or a few subscribers cannot authenticate and remain on the MVPD login page.

  • One or a few subscribers are authenticated but cannot play videos.

  • Some or all subscribers encounter a JavaScript error on the Programmer site.

How are SEVERITY 1 level incidents handled?

A SEVERITY 1 level incident can be initiated by either Adobe or an Adobe Pass Authentication partner. The steps for each are outlined below.

Partner-initiated flow

  1. The partner identifies a Severity 1 level incident requiring Adobe’s immediate attention.

  2. The partner sends an email to tve-support@adobe.com including URGENT - INCIDENT in the subject line and adding the following information:

    • Title
    • Description and steps to reproduce
    • OS / Browser
    • SDK & Version
    • Devices affected
    • % users affected
    • HTTP Trace or Device logs demonstrating the issue
    • (optional) Any available screenshots or video captures demonstrating the issue
  3. If Adobe does not respond to the ticket within a period, the partner can call the following number: 1-657-312-4623.

IMPORTANT
If you do not include “URGENT-INCIDENT” in the ticket’s title, it will not be picked up by our notification system.

Adobe-initiated flow

For an Adobe Pass Authentication issue:

  1. Adobe identifies an internal issue and opens a ticket in our tracking system.

  2. Adobe notifies the partner’s program manager and technical contact, specifying the ticket number and the estimated impact of the issue.

  3. Adobe works towards resolving the incident and keeps all impacted partners informed.

For a partner issue (Programmer/MVPD):

  1. Adobe identifies an issue related to the integration with an MVPD or on one of the Programmer’s sites.

  2. Adobe notifies the impacted partner following the support procedures in place with that partner and opens a ticket with the partner’s support organization.

  3. If, during the impact analysis, Adobe identifies that the issue falls under one of the pre-agreed decisions on incident scenarios, it will act accordingly without waiting for the partner’s input.

  4. Adobe will wait for updates from the partner and a notification when the service has been restored.
