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.

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.
