Question & Answer
Question
How do I get the Content Manager for iSeries Client Application for Windows® to access a number of different environments on the IBM i? For example, I have file libraries QUSRVI, TESTVI, ABCVI, and I want the user to be able to access all of them via his one workstation. How do I set this up?
Answer
You will need to configure multiple listener jobs on the IBM i, each with its own job description, library list, and TCP/IP port. On the client, you will need to configure separate entries for each port.
The following example shows three environments:
- Copy the member QVI400 in file QCLSRC in library QVI a couple of times, giving it a new name (such as QVI400ABC) and port number (such as 31016). The port number is listed in one of the last lines in the program (CALL EKDCSCOM1). Compile those programs into the QVI library.
- Create three job descriptions that will contain the correct file libraries for each environment. The order of the libraries in the LIBL would be: QTEMP, QUSRVI (or appropriate file library), QVI and QGPL.
- Create three QVITCPxxx user profiles that reference the correct job descriptions for each environment.
- ADDPJE (Add Prestart Job Entry) to the QSERVER subsystem, which you then execute three times, specifying the correct QVITCPxxx user profile to call the appropriate QVI400xxx program in QVI. See the IBM Content Manager for iSeries Planning and Installing Guide for a listing of the parameters to use on the ADDPJE command.
- The item that ties all of this together is the client workstation's FRNOLINT.TBL file. You must add three server entries, with different server names that identify each environment, plus three different port numbers that match the port numbers specified in the QVI400xxx programs. At logon time, the user selects the correct server to access. You might want to make the server names something meaningful about the applications, such as "Personnel", "Accounting" or "Invoices".
