What can I do with this system value?

Specifies the number of target display station pass-through server jobs that are available to process i5/OS display station pass-through and other 5250 emulation programs on programmable workstations that connect to the iSeries using APPC/APPN.

The server jobs are not needed for Telnet and Virtual Terminal (VTM) APIs. Therefore, if you only use Telnet and VTM, you may want to decrease the value specified for the number of target display station pass-through server jobs.

The following are possible options:

System calculated (*CALC)
The operating system calculates the number of target display station pass-through server jobs. This is the recommended setting.
0-100 jobs (0-100)
Specifies the number of target display station pass-through server jobs that are available to process i5/OS display station pass-through, Client Access work station function (WSF), and other 5250 emulation programs on programmable workstations that connect to the iSeries using APPC/APPN.
