Create a subsystem description

IBM-supplied subsystem descriptions have been provided as examples and as backup for user-created subsystem descriptions. Therefore, you should not change the subsystem descriptions in libraries QSYS and QGPL. You should make copies of the subsystem descriptions from these libraries and make changes to the copies.

You can create a subsystem description in two ways. You can copy an existing subsystem description and change it or you can create an entirely new description.

To copy an existing subsystem description:

  1. On a command line, type CRTDUPOBJ, to create a duplicate object of an existing subsystem description.
  2. Change the sign-on display file and the system part of the library list for the secondary language.

To create an entirely new subsystem description:

  1. Create a subsystem description (CRTSBSD). Specify a sign-on file from the national language version library and specify the national language version library (QSYSnnnn) as the system-library list entry.
  2. Create a job description (CRTJOBD).
  3. Add work entries to the subsystem description.
    1. ADDWSE (Add work station entry)
    2. ADDJOBQE ( Add job queue entry)
    3. ADDCMNE (Add communications entry)
    4. ADDAJE (Add autostart job entry)
    5. ADDPJE (Add prestart job entry)
  4. CRTCLS (Create a class).
  5. ADDRTGE (Add routing entries to the subsystem description).
