IBM Electronic Service Agent for iSeries and AS/400e  
Simplified Activation User Guide – Release V5R1 - Revision 6.0  
Preface  
This guide provides an overview, installation and configuration instructions, and user  
information for the Electronic Service Agent Simplified Activation with PTF SF67624  
installed.  
Overview  
This PTF provides simplified activation steps for both Service Agent Hardware  
Problem Reporting and System Inventory Collection and Transmission, designed  
for a single iSeries or AS/400e system or partition. The simplified activation will be  
an entirely “green screen” user interface.  
If you choose to collect and send Service Agent Inventory information by groups of  
systems and/or partitions, a Management Central configuration is necessary.  
For information about Service Agent using Management Central, see  
These activation steps are for customers who do not have an attached PC running iSeries  
Navigator as their iSeries or AS/400e console or would prefer not to go through a longer  
and complex install and activation using iSeries Navigator. Activation of Electronic  
Service Agent in a batch environment is also now available using new CL commands.  
See Chapter 6 for further information.  
Electronic Service Agent and its simplified activation are supported on all iSeries and  
AS/400e machine types and models running the OS/400 operating system Release V5R1.  
If you have other iSeries systems and partitions in your network running other  
releases of OS/400, Electronic Service Agent is available for install on all releases of  
OS/400. For information about Electronic Service Agent for all OS/400 releases, see  
Who should read this guide?  
This guide is intended for use by iSeries and AS/400e system administrators and/or  
System Service Representatives (SSRs) who are familiar with, or have a working  
knowledge of an iSeries and/or AS/400e system.  
A basic understanding of an iSeries and/or AS/400e system is beneficial to assist you  
with the information provided in this guide as it pertains to Release 5.1 of IBM Electronic  
Service Agent for iSeries and AS/400e.

Chapter 1. Introduction to Electronic Service Agent  
and Migration Information  
Introduction to Electronic Service Agent  
Electronic Service Agent (product ID 5798-RZG) is a Licensed Program Offering (LPO)  
that operates on an IBM iSeries or AS/400e, with operating system OS/400 at V5R1.  
Electronic Service Agent provides two functions:  
! Hardware problem reporting predicts and prevents hardware errors by early  
detection of potential problems, downloads fixes, and automatically calls IBM  
Service when necessary.  
! System inventory collection and transmission collects and electronically sends  
system information to IBM to be used for input for problem analysis and problem  
prevention functions, and to assist IBM in providing improved service.  
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.  
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:  
Migration Information  
For customers migrating from other OS/400 releases, Simplified Activation will activate  
all processes and create any necessary objects and configurations.  
Service Agent attempts to migrate your existing Service Agent settings from release to  
release.  
The International License Agreement must be accepted any time Service Agent is  
activated.

Chapter 2. How do I Install and Setup Electronic  
Service Agent using the Simplified Activation?  
Depending on your existing Service Agent and OS/400 system setup, you may see a few  
panels or no panels during your Simplified Activation. Reference Appendix A,  
Activation Steps” on page 14 to determine the panels you may see.  
If no panels are displayed, it is because a Universal Connection configuration already  
exists, Service Agent Hardware Problem Reporting is active, and System Manager for  
iSeries is not installed.  
1. Using a 5250 emulator, sign on to the system.  
2. Sign on with a user profile (other than QSECOFR) with *SECOFR authority  
with *ALLOBJ, *SECADM and *IOSYSCFG special authorities.

Chapter 4. Questions and Answers  
For more information on Electronic Service Agent and System Manager/400, reference  
the FAQ document from the Electronic Service Agent Web site at:  
Q1: How do I know if my simplified activation was complete?  
A1: To verify activation, use these commands:  
Type GO SERVICE. Choose Work with Service Agent Subsystem to show the active  
status of the QSVCDRCTR subsystem.  
WRKJOBSCDE will show the QSDSACOL job schedule entry that initiates the  
collection and transmission of Service Agent inventory information.  
Q2: Does a communications configuration need to be setup before  
starting the Simplified Activation?  
A2: No. If needed, Simplified Activation will create point-to-point connection  
configuration(s) for ECS and Service Agent during the activation.  
Q3: What if an error occurs when my system attempts to send inventory  
or hardware failure information to IBM?  
A3: Service Agent is dependent on many functions of OS/400 to be in working order.  
Management Central, Connection profiles using TCP/IP, Electronic Customer Support,  
and the Problem log are a few OS/400 functions that Service Agent uses. Normal system  
problem determination is recommended for any error received.  
Q4: How do I know that information was sent to IBM using the  
simplified activation?  
A4: To verify that data was sent to IBM, do this:  
Type GO SERVICE. Choose Inventory Collection Menu. Choose Display Inventory  
Collection.  
Q5: How can I change the scheduled time of the Service Collection job?  
A5: To change the scheduled time, do this:  
Type GO SERVICE. Choose Inventory Collection Menu. Choose Change Inventory  
Collection.  
Q6: How can I change the connection profiles created during the  
simplified activation?  
Page 10 of 19  
 
IBM Electronic Service Agent for iSeries and AS/400e  
Simplified Activation User Guide – Release V5R1 - Revision 6.0  
A6: To access the Configure Service Connection Menu, use this command:  
Type GO SERVICE. Choose Inventory Collection Menu. Choose Configure Service  
Connection.  
Q7: During the inventory transmission, I received message SQL0913 for  
one of the files in QUSRSYS. Is there a fix for this?  
A7: On a command line, type the following commands:  
CHGPF FILE(QUSRSYS/QAYIVCON) WAITFILE(30)  
CHGPF FILE(QUSRSYS/QAYIVHDW) WAITFILE(30)  
CHGPF FILE(QUSRSYS/QAYIVNET) WAITFILE(30)  
CHGPF FILE(QUSRSYS/QAYIVPTF) WAITFILE(30)  
CHGPF FILE(QUSRSYS/QAYIVSER) WAITFILE(30)  
CHGPF FILE(QUSRSYS/QAYIVSFW) WAITFILE(30)  
CHGPF FILE(QUSRSYS/QAYIVSYS) WAITFILE(30)  
CHGPF FILE(QUSRSYS/QAYIVSYV) WAITFILE(30)  
CHGPF FILE(QUSRSYS/QAYIVRIG) WAITFILE(30)  
CHGPF FILE(QSVCDRCTR/QASASTATUS) WAITFILE(30)  
CHGPF FILE(QSVCDRCTR/QASASNDHST) WAITFILE(30)  
Q8: From the Inventory Collection Menu, I used the RUN  
INVENTORY COLLECTION option to have inventory collected and  
sent to IBM. When I select the DISPLAY INVENTORY  
COLLECTION option from the same menu, immediately afterwards, I  
do not see entries for LAST RUN and LAST SEND for the current date  
and time. When should I expect to see these entries?  
A8: The Service Agent process of collecting inventory using Management Central and  
sending inventory using Universal Connection takes time to run.  
A collection task in Management Central will determine if inventories need to be  
collected and will collect new inventory as needed.  
After the collection is complete, a job is submitted to use Universal Connection  
to:  
o Start the connection profile  
o Vary on its associated line, controller and device descriptions  
o Dial into the AT&T Global Network  
o Connect to IBM  
o Send the inventories  
Factors which affect the length of the time needed to collect and send, are the  
size of your system, processing load, and the speed of the connection.

Simplified Activation User Guide – Release V5R1 - Revision 6.0  
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.

IBM Electronic Service Agent for iSeries and AS/400e  
Simplified Activation User Guide – Release V5R1 - Revision 6.0  
Appendix C. Modem and Resource Information  
The Service Agent and ECS service configurations created to connect to IBM using  
Simplified Activation are *PTP (Point-to-Point) TCP/IP Universal Connection based.  
If you do not have the modem and/or resources to support these types of connections, the  
service configurations will not be usable or the Simplified Activation will fail due to lack  
of internal resources.  
Modem Requirements  
The following table can be used to help determine the Point-to-Point functions that can be  
set up depending on your modem and resource. If this modem is to be used for Hardware  
problem reporting and System inventory transmission functions, ECS must also be  
configured to use TCP/IP instead of SDLC or SNA communications.  
Asynchronous: If you configure your modem to operate in asynchronous mode, both  
Hardware problem reporting and System inventory collection and transmission can be set  
up (examples: 2771 and 9771 internal modems, IBM 7855, IBM 7857, or IBM 7858 and  
dual model IBM 7852–400). Note: If you will be using a non-IBM modem, any  
asynchronous modem that supports the RS232 serial interface and the V.34/V.42 protocol  
(V.90 is optional) can be used for this function.  
Typically, the default modem setting DSR (Data Set Ready) must be overridden. For an  
iSeries server to detect a hang-up, DSR must be set to follow CD (Carrier Detect). Refer  
to your modem manual for more information.  
Communications I/O Adapter Requirements  
Determine if you have one of the following appropriate I/O adapters:  
2699 * Two-line WAN IOA. This IOA requires either a 2629 LAN/WAN/Workstation IOP or MFIOP.  
2720 * PCI WAN/Twinaxial IOA  
2721 * PCI Two-line WAN IOA  
2745 * PCI Two-line WAN IOA (replaces IOA 2721)  
2771 Two-port WAN IOA, with a V.90 integrated modem on port 1 and a standard communications  
interface on port 2. To use port 2 of the 2771 adapter, an external modem with the appropriate  
cable is required.  
2772 Two port V.90 integrated modem WAN IOA  
2793 Two-port WAN IOA, with a V.90 integrated modem on port 1 and a standard communications  
interface on port 2. To use port 2 of the 2771 adapter, an external modem with the appropriate  
cable is required.  
2805 Four port V.92 integrated modem WAN IOA
