Q9: How can I change a standalone system configured by the simplified 
activation to report problems for remote systems or partitions in my 
network?

 

A9: After obtaining an activation password from your IBM Service Representative, do 
the following: Type 

GO SERVICE

. Choose 

Change Service Agent Settings

. Specify 

*YES

 for 

Report Remote Problem

 (RPTRMTPRB). Enter the activation password 

when prompted.  

 

Q10: How can I use the Service Agent Inventory my system sends and 
what does IBM do with the Service Agent Inventory information? 

 

A10: An Electronic Service Agent Information web interface is available to view your 
inventory information from your system(s) and/or partition(s) after inventory has been 
collected and sent to IBM. 
   
For more information and to register, see:

The inventory information your system sends will assist IBM representatives to be more 
proactive, by knowing your system and your system needs for hardware and software. 
Time will be saved because IBM will already have your system information to use for 
customized strategies for your environment, further developing your relationship with 
IBM.  
 

Q11: Do the java products 5722JV1 and 5722JC1 need to be installed  
for V5R1 Service Agent to function properly?

 

A11: Yes. Those two products with their available options as well as the latest Java 
Group PTF are highly recommended for proper operation. You can use the OS/400 
command DSPDTAARA (QJAVA/SF99069) to display the Java group PTF status.  

 

Q12: What if the connection number I selected is only for digital 
modems and my modem is not digital? 

 

A12: Use the 

CHGSRVCFG

 command to select a different connection number.
