I need to sign on from remote (not the operations console) but need to be in the QCTL subsystem so that if QINTER is inactive I can still sign on. Do I need to change my user profile a certain way?

Thanks. We'll let you know when a new response is added.

Hi,

I think your best option for this is to add a workstation entry to your QCTL subsystem, then when you connect remotely use that workstation for your session. Something like this :-

ADDWSE SBSD(QCTL) WRKSTN(RMTWS*)

Then when you connect remotely use a device name beginning with RMTWS and you should get a session in QCTL. You could also add the same workstation entry to QINTER, then you will get a session in QINTER if it’s active, or one in QCTL if QINTER is not active.

Regards,

Martin Gilbert.

Hi Martin, I have exactly the same requirement. However, I have a question: I need to create devices that will meet the criteria in ADDWSE SBSD(QCTL) WRKSTN(RMTWS*) <====== Do I use WRKDEVD to add the new entries? If so wnat are the parameters? Thanks, John

Hi John, I think the easiest way to do this is to setup your system to autoconfigure virtual devices, then connect with ops nav / mochasoft / rumba or whatever you use for terminal emulation specifying a device name. The system should then create the necessary devices for you. Does this help? If not let me know and we'll discuss it further. Cheers, Martin.

Be aware that if this is done, anyone connecting with a matching device name will be routed to QCTL. You might want to create a routing program for QCTL to limit which users are actually allowed to be running there. Tom
