Adding workstation entries

A workstation entry is used when a job is started when a user signs on or transfers an interactive job from another subsystem. You can specify the following items in a workstation entry. Parameter names are given in parentheses. Use the IBM Navigator for i interface or the character-based interface to add workstation entries.

  • Workstation name or type (WRKSTN or WRKSTNTYPE)
  • Job description name (JOBD) or job description name in the user profile
  • Maximum number of jobs that can be active at the same time through the entry (MAXACT)
  • When the workstations are to be allocated, either when the subsystem is started or when an interactive job enters the subsystem through the Transfer Job (TFRJOB) command and the AT parameter.
