RE: Workstation Object Getting Changed

Rob,

Finally got around to submitting the PMR. Basically the reply was "Working as designed." And suggested that I submit a DCR. Might do that eventually, but noted your test (below) on 6.1 and asked, more specifically this time, if there might not be a PTF or two that I'm missing. Also pointed out that, in my opion, it is not a System i Access issue, but a configuration or security issue (they told me to tell the users not to change the device type in System i Access). Anyway, I'm waiting for the reply to my reply on the PMR.

Did not vary it on.

Configure an 5250 display session with system i access for windows. Make
it ROBPRT. Try to connect. Get "E8903 Device not valid for session".

Try to connect and it now works.

Don't think I did anything fancy on this lpar.
QAUTOVRT = 250
QAUTOCFG = 0=Off
