Once a case has been opened in CA Support Online, files can be transferred using 3 methods:
Method #1: Email *
Emailing a file to a case is supported under the following conditions:
- The file must be less than 2 MB*
- Case number must be in the "Subject" line of email otherwise it will not be routed
Important: Email attachments are not secure during transfer. If you need to secure your email attachment, please
encrypt the file before attaching it and ensure you provide the decryption key information to the CA support engineer
verbally or in a separate email.
Your email is stored on a secure CA Technologies server. Emails that you have been sent to CA Support can be viewed
by selecting the Attachments tab when viewing your case on CA Support Online.

Once logged into CA Support Online, you can access the Web client from the File Attachments tab of the CA Support
Online Case Details page by clicking on the "Manage Case File Attachments" link.
