Adding communications entries

Each communication entry describes one or more communication device, device types, or remote location for which the subsystem starts jobs when program start requests are received. The subsystem can allocate a communication device if the device is not currently allocated to another subsystem or job. A communications device that is currently allocated may eventually be de-allocated, making it available to other subsystems. To add a communications entry to the subsystem description, use the IBM Navigator for i interface or the character-based interface.

IBM Navigator for i

Expand Work Management > Subsystem Descriptions.
Select the Properies action for the desired subsystem description.
Click on the Communication Entries tab, then select the Add action from the Actions drop-down.

Character-based interface

Command: Add Communications Entry (ADDCMNE)

Example: This example adds a communications entry for the APPC device named COMDEV and mode *ANY to the subsystem description SBS1, which resides in library ALIB. The DFTUSR parameter defaults to *NONE, which means that no jobs may enter the system through this entry unless valid security information is supplied on the program start request.

ADDCMNE   SBSD(ALIB/SBS1)  DEV(COMDEV)

Note: You must specify either the DEV parameter or the RMTLOCNAME parameter, but not both.
