Re: Assigning specific devices to a subsystem

Hi William,

It sounds like you've put the workstation entry in your new subsystem,
which is correct.  If you look at the ADDWSE command,  you'll see it
defaults to allocate at *SIGNON. I believe you ALSO have to put the same
workstation entries into QINTER with allocate at *ENTER. This should
explicitly prevent QINTER from grabbing those devices.

I got this info myself from this list a couple of months ago, so thankyou
to whoever that was (sorry, I've forgotten).

Hope this helps

I have added a couple of handheld scanning devices to our AS/400
network - they use 5250 emulation.  I am able to give these devices
specific names - TRAKKER1 and TRAKKER2.  I set up a separate subsystem
for them so that I could change the sign-on screen to fit their
smaller screen size.  I put a generic workstation name entry into the
subsystem (TRAK*).  I changed my startup program to start the new
scanner subsystem and placed that before the start of QINTER.  I
changed the device descriptions to Online At IPL = *YES.

The problem I am having is that the devices do not always get attached
to the new scanner subsystem.  Sometimes Scanner, sometimes Qinter -
Sometimes QINTER, sometimes Scanner.  Has anybody had to solve this
problem before and can I get help?

Thanks
