Work with remote service support
This option provides a variety of functions such as testing remote service communications.
The Work with remote service support option
allows you to:
- Test remote service communications
- Activate and deactivate remote service support communication line
- Work with the security log (shows remote service activity)
- Change service attributes
Through remote service support, DST functions that would
typically be available only at the local system console can be accessed
from a remote site. Remote service support requires the following:
- An electronic customer support communications line.
- The system at the local site must be at DST (that is, perform an IPL to DST), or past DST.
- Remote service support must be enabled and activated at the local site. For details, see Allowing access for remote service support and Activating remote service support.
