Assigning devices to subsystems

Before a user can sign on to the system, the workstation must be defined to a subsystem. The workstation is the virtual display device that is selected or automatically created by the Telnet server.

The workstation name or the workstation type should be specified in the subsystem description on the system. Use the Display Subsystem Description (DSPSBSD) command to see the workstation entries defined to the subsystem.

You can use the following command to add all workstation types to a subsystem that is named QINTER:

ADDWSE SBSD(QINTER) WRKSTNTYPE(*ALL)

Printer devices are always routed to the QSPL spooling subsystem.

The Add Workstation Entry (ADDWSE) command can be done when the subsystem is active. However, the changes might or might not take effect immediately. You might need to stop and restart the subsystem.
