Setting up IBM i Access on your Enterprise Server

The IBM i Access terminal emulation program enables Development Clients to communicate with IBM i servers. This task describes the procedure to set up the component of IBM i Access that runs on the IBM i server.

To set up IBM i Access on your JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Enterprise Server:

1. To determine the number of prestart jobs that are available and have been submitted for program QZDASOINIT, enter this command:

   DSPACTPJ QUSRWRK QSYS\QZDASOINIT

   Information about the number of your system's prestart jobs, prestart jobs submitted, and program start requests appears.

   The number of prestart jobs depends on the number of concurrent and active ODBC user connections. This change is iterative as users or applications are added or removed. If you do not have enough prestart jobs, your system could be slow to make connections. If connections fail, they could be successful with the second attempt. If too many prestart jobs are waiting, the system will end some of them automatically. Also, the system initiates prestart jobs as additional ones are submitted.

   Note: Troubleshooting. To determine the number of prestart jobs you should set up, be aware that each OneWorld user typically uses three to five ODBC connections. Each ODBC connection uses one QZDASOINIT program. Therefore, the initial value for QZDASOINIT could be set to four times the number of expected concurrent connected users.

   The current maximum number of prestart jobs is 9,999. If more jobs are needed, they will be created as necessary.

2. To see the current settings, enter this command:

   DSPSBSD QUSRWRK

3. Choose option 10, and then choose option 5 for program QSYS\QZDASOINIT.

4. To access the form on which you can change the number of prestart jobs, enter this command and press F4 to prompt:

   CHGPJE

5. Change the number of prestart jobs as needed, and then press Enter.

6. Restart the QUSRWRK subsystem for your changes to take effect.
