Creating a service tools user ID using DST

To create a service tools user ID using dedicated service tools (DST), follow these steps.

1. Access service tools using DST.
2. Sign on to DST using your service tools user ID and password.
3. When the Use dedicated service tools (DST) display is shown, select option 5 (Work with DST environment) and press Enter. The Work with DST Environment display is shown.
4. From the Work with DST Environment display, select option 3 (Service tools user IDs) to work with service tools user IDs. The Work with Service Tools User IDs display is shown.
5. Type 1 (Create) on the Work with Service Tools User IDs display, type the new service tools user ID in the field provided and press Enter. The Create Service Tools User ID display is shown.
   Note: User IDs can be 1-10 characters. They should be in uppercase and can include letters and numbers. User IDs cannot include spaces between characters.
6. Enter information about the new user ID:
   • Service tools user ID name: The name of the new service tools user ID.
   • Password: This password is used by the new user ID. The password must be at least 1 character in length. If you use DES (Data Encryption Standard) encryption or default password level, the maximum password allowed is 8 digits. If you use SHA (Secure Hash Algorithm) encryption or password level 2, then 128-digit case-sensitive passwords are allowed.
   • Set password to expire: By default, the value for this field is set to 1 (Yes).
   • Description: This is an optional field to specify more detailed information about the owner of the user ID, such as name, department, and telephone number.
   • Linked user profile name: The name of the user profile that links from the current service tools user ID.
     Note: The linked user profile name is not required for each service tools user ID. It does not even need to exist at the time it is added to a service tools user ID.
7. After entering all information about the user ID, you can choose one of these options:
   • To create the user ID with the default functional privileges, press Enter.
   • To change the default functional privileges, press F5 (Change privilege) to go to the Change Service Tools User ID Privileges display. This display lists all the service tools, to which privileges might be granted. For more details, see the information about changing functional privileges for a service tools user ID using DST.
