Create a device description for PM iSeries

You can create a device description for PM iSeries™.

The following steps are necessary on each remote server that has the Create default public authority (QCRTAUT) system value set to *EXCLUDE or *USE. If QUSER does not have *CHANGE authority to device description Q1PLOC, remote transmissions will fail. These steps ensure that the device will not be created or deleted automatically.

Note: This task is necessary only if PM iSeries gathers data and transmits data over SNA.

If you allow the device to be created automatically, the device description is created with PUBLIC *EXCLUDE or *USE authority, depending on the value set for QCRTAUT. Whether a device can be created or deleted automatically is controlled by the controller.

For systems that are not configured to use APPN, see Work with remote servers in a non-APPN environment for information on how to create the device description.

The following information assumes that the controller that will be used to communicate with the host server was defined previously on the remote server.

On the remote server, re-create device description Q1PLOC:

VRYCFG  CFGOBJ(Q1PLOC) 
        CFGTYPE(*DEV) 
        STATUS(*OFF) 
DLTDEVD   DEVD(Q1PLOC) 

CRTDEVAPPC DEVD(Q1PLOC) 
           RMTLOCNAME(Q1PLOC) 
           ONLINE(*NO) 
           LCLLOCNAME(name of remote system) 
           RMTNETID(remote netid of primary (or central) system) 
           CTL(name of controller that the device will be attached to) 
           AUT(*EXCLUDE) 

CRTOBJAUT OBJ(Q1PLOC)
          OBJTYPE(*DEVD)
          USER(QUSER) 
          AUT(*CHANGE)

 VRYCFG    CFGOBJ(Q1PLOC)
           CFGTYPE(*DEV)
           STATUS(*ON)
