RE: Question about mulitple QINTER subsystems etc

This is how we have it set up:

Subsystem description:   QINTER         
                                             
Work station name . . . . . . . . :   US*     
Job description . . . . . . . . . :   *USRPRF
  Library . . . . . . . . . . . . :          
Maximum active jobs . . . . . . . :   *NOMAX 
Control job at  . . . . . . . . . :   *ENTER 

Subsystem description:   YOURSBS       
                                             
Work station name . . . . . . . . :   US*     
Job description . . . . . . . . . :   *USRPRF
  Library . . . . . . . . . . . . :          
Maximum active jobs . . . . . . . :   *NOMAX 
Control job at  . . . . . . . . . :   *SIGNON

This allows any session ID starting with US to run in YOURSBS, but they
won't go into QINTER.

subject: Question about mulitple QINTER subsystems etc

Hi, Al or someone,

What else do I need to do - I have created a QINTERUS subsystem and an
alternate BPCS TCPIP one too, on the UK box, for my client from New
Orleans. 
They will sign in via VPN from various US locations. If they create
session IDs starting with US, they should go to the QINTERUS sbs because
I have added a wse of US* on Enter, and taken out the types of *cons and
*all, so nobody else can get in. This is so that we can take down the US
for backups while the UK is still working and vice versa (UK is almost a
24 hr shop). 
BUT how do I ensure that no US users get into QINTER by mistake?? Do I
need to use TFRJOB in their signon pgms, we did try that but it looped!
What if QINTER comes up will it try to allocate them? I saw something on
the IBm site that said it was 'unpredictable' which sbs would get the
device...

Thanks for your help guys,

Clare
