Managing Your Work Environment

This section covers settings for your work environment. Based on IBM i facilities, the information here is tailored for users.

CA 2E is designed to make use of some of the IBM i subsystem facilities. For successful generation and implementation, an understanding of these IBM i facilities is important. The following information will give you an understanding of how to create and change the subsystem description for use with CA 2E.

Note: All jobs on the IBM i run in a subsystem. You may want to define a subsystem to run similar kinds of jobs, such as interactive or batch.

For more information on IBM i subsystem facilities, see IBM's Application System/400 Programming: Work Management Guide.

You can display the subsystem definition with either the i OS Display Subsystem Description (DSPSBSD) or Work with Subsystem Description (WRKSBSD) commands.When you run the DSPSBSD command, the following panel displays:

To focus on the job queue and routing entry descriptions, let us use, as an example, the QBATCH subsystem for batch jobs. YSBMMDLCRT uses QBATCH by default. You can change this default and create a different subsystem of CA 2E-related activity.
