Subject: Re: Named (VRTDEV) devices in PASTHR

Since I began leaving the workstation ID blank on some devices, we're having issues where these devices are using a workstation ID created specifically for the PASTHR from our parent in Japan. These devices are in controller QPACTL01 along with the QPAD* devices.

I thought that by recreating the PASTHR device names in the QVIRCD0001 controller our issues would disappear. But from what I could gather from the translated Japanese, our parent was not able to PASTHR when looking for VRT(abc) when the device was in controller QVIRCD001. Am I missing something or would this be the expected result?

I'm wondering what named device do for pasthru anyway. Our parent uses this command in a program:

STRPASTHR RMTLOCNAME(S1029110) VRTDEV(abc) RMTUSER(USERX) RMTPWD(xxxxxx)

What can specifying device abc accomplish? Is this a holdover from 90's era OS? From what I understand, the OS should be able to create the necessary device to fit the pasthru users workstation on the fly.




QPADEV* devices are used for Passthru and Telnet/iSeries Access. It is
my understanding that is a request for a session comes in without
asking for a specific dev the system will look for a compatible already
created and currently unused. If it doesn't find one then it will a. try
to create a new QPADEV device or b. CHANGE a current QPADEV device.
Maybe they are getting changed


ISeries Access will use any compatible device in QPACTL01 not just ones that begin with QPADEV*. Thus if device ABC is compatible, it will use it for an iSeries for Access session if it's available.
