Simplified Activation in Batch

 

 

Electronic Service Agent can be activated in a batch environment.  This approach is 
helpful for customers with many remote systems and would like to send programs from a 
central site for remote activation. In order to use this method, the Electronic Service 
Agent product is installed and the Service Agent Simplified Activation PTFs are 
available on each system for install or already installed.  
 
A sample CL program can be found in, Appendix B, page 16. Before using a program, 
the International License Agreement for Services Programs must be accepted. 
 
To accept the license agreement, do one of the following: 

!

 

On a command line, enter 

GO SERVICE

.  Choose 'Display Service Agent 

license agreement.  Read the agreement and press F6 to accept. 

!

 

On a command line, enter 

QSVCDRCTR/ACPTSALIC

.  Read the agreement 

and press F6 to accept.
