To develop an effective strategy for managing and maintaining service tools user IDs, you need to configure and change service tools user IDs, recover or reset QSECOFR passwords, and save or restore service tools security data.

• Save and restore service tools security data
  The service tools security data is saved as part of a save system using the (SAVSYS) command or save Licensed Internal Code operation. The service tools security data can also be saved manually from DST. You can work with service tools security data from DST.
