Re: Workstation Data Areas

["Dee Westerfield" <Dee_Westerfield@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm using CA/400 version 3.1.3 the OS is 3.7 native TCPIP.  I have setup the 
configuration for a named workstation.  The problem I've had is the fact that I 
have to name every session and put an individual icon on the desktop.  Has 
anyone come up with a better method of handling this?  It's OK for me, but I 
don't know how to control 150 users.  Any ideas?

Sounds like you need to implement TCP/IP device naming at the workstation 
level, so that the users get the same one every time.  Comes standard now, 
but PTF's are available all the way back to V3R2 and V3R7.  Have you checked 
into this?
