Add, View, Update, or Delete user IDs for an ATV (ATV)


From the Test Assets - Userids screen, you can choose to add, view, update, or delete user IDs for the selected ATV.

Type a line command beside a user ID to select it and press Enter to open the appropriate screen.

  • Type A to add a new user ID. The Test Assets - Userids - Add screen is displayed. Enter a Userid, Password, LPAR, and optional user ID description and the desired TSO user ID cancel behavior. The password will not show on the screen when you type it.
    Press Enter to add the user ID and open another Add screen to add additional user IDs or use END or CANCEL to return to the Test Assets - Userids screen without adding a new user ID.

    Warning

    Important

    Specifying Y in the Cancel userid before TSO replay field will enable the test supervisor to cancel this userid’s TSO session if it is logged on at the time a test case which uses it is run.

    The cancel will only be done if REGION and USERID assets are included as steps in the test case before the replay step to the same LPAR where the ATV Supervisor is running.

  • Type U to change a single user’s password or description. The Test Assets - Userids - Update screen is displayed. The fields except Password are pre-filled with the information you entered on the Add screen. You can only add or change a Description or change the password. The password will not show on the screen when you type it. To change the password via a batch job (similar to the UPDATE primary command), you must enter the old password and the new password twice for verification. To update the password on the database only (for cases where the password associated with the user ID was changed outside of the ATV), you only need to provide the new password in the Password field. Do not enter any values in the New or Confirm Password fields.
    Press Enter to update the password, description, or Cancel userid before TSO replay selection, or use END or CANCEL to return to the Test Assets - Userids screen without updating the password or description.
