Emergency Handling
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The process of receiving, handling, and escalating incidents must be
standardized to ensure that customer issues are handled at the promised
service level. The incident handling responsibilities, time
requirements, and notification mechanism must be clearly defined.
Services must be quickly recovered to ensure the promised quality and
availability.

Incident severity and response
******************************
Level 1: incidents that have major impacts on services, such as serious
damage, data loss, service data or function errors (which cause multiple
customer complaints), and system faults recurring within a short period
of time.
Level 2: incidents that have minor impacts on services, such as
unavailability of a few functions (service degradation), function
impairment on some users, data inconsistency (no financial loss), and
common system faults.
Level 3: incidents that have no impact on services, such as data query
and consulting. Services are normal but experience is affected.
Response and resolution time requirements vary by incident level. The
response timing is 24/7 and starts once an incident is reported.
+----------------+----------------+-----------------+-----------------+
| Incident Level | Response Time | Recovery Time | Resolution Time |
| | (minutes) | (hours) | (days) |
+================+================+=================+=================+
| 1 | 10 | 2 | 7 |
+----------------+----------------+-----------------+-----------------+
| 2 | 30 | 6 | 20 |
+----------------+----------------+-----------------+-----------------+
| 3 | 60 | 24 | 60 |
+----------------+----------------+-----------------+-----------------+
Remarks:
- The incident levels and response time above are only examples. Adjust
them as required.
- O&M engineers can transfer out incidents that they cannot resolve by
referring to relevant documentation within the specified time.
- The response time is the maximum delay before an incident handler
starts handling an incident after receiving it.
- The recovery time is the maximum duration needed to recover services
after an incident occurs.
- The resolution time is the maximum duration taken by an O&M engineer
to resolve or transfer out an incident.
Incident escalation and notification
************************************
The notification mechanism defined in the following table is for
incidents that are Level 1 and 2.
+----------------------------+--------------+-------------------------+
| Notification | Method | Recipients |
+============================+==============+=========================+
| Initial notification | SMS and | (Send to) Service owner |
| | email | |
| (30 minutes) | | (CC) O&M team |
+----------------------------+--------------+-------------------------+
| | Phone call | R&D leader |
+----------------------------+--------------+-------------------------+
| Handling progress | SMS and | (Send to) Service owner |
| | email | |
| (1 hour) | | (CC) O&M team |
+----------------------------+--------------+-------------------------+
| Fault rectification | SMS and | (Send to) Service owner |
| | email | |
| | | (CC) O&M team |
+----------------------------+--------------+-------------------------+
| Escalation of overdue | SMS and | (Send to) Service owner |
| incidents | email | |
| | | (CC) O&M team, R&D |
| | | leader |
+----------------------------+--------------+-------------------------+
| | Phone call | R&D leader |
+----------------------------+--------------+-------------------------+
If a Level-2 incident's impact on services and users worsens, escalate
it to Level 1 and then handle it with Level-1 standards.
Precautions during incident management

- Record all incidents on the live network in the unified event
management system for analysis.
