Pressing the System Request Key while the system is
operational
If your system has the OS/400 operating system, you can access DST by using the
following procedure only when the system is in debug mode. Debug mode is an
environment to test programs. It allows you to select a function key and access
DST during the IPL process (see “Perform an IPL” on page 11). For more
information on debug mode, see iSeries Licensed Internal Code Diagnostic Aids -
Volume 1 .
From the console, perform the following steps:
1.
Press the System Request Key.
2. Type
DST on the system request line.
Note: Ensure that you use capital letters to type the DST command.
3. Sign-on to DST.
Type
QSRV as the valid user ID and get the password from the customer. If the
customer has changed the full DST authority user ID or password, ask the
customer for the correct values.
Note: If prompted for a password, be sure to give the new (changed) password
to the customer.
Note: V5R1 limits you to three sign on attempts to DST. After three
unsuccessful attempts, the service tools user ID will be disabled. The
system administrator with QSECOFR authority will need to reset the ID.
4. The Use Dedicated Service Tools (DST) display appears.
See “DST options” on page 10 for details on DST options.
This ends the procedure
