Workstation entries
An interactive job is a job that starts when a user signs on to
a display station and ends when the user signs off. For the job to run, the
subsystem searches for the job description, which may be specified in the
workstation entry or the user profile.
The workstation entry guides the subsystem to prospective workstations.
If a workstation is available, the subsystem sends a signon screen to the
display.
Note: The subsystem description for the controlling subsystem must
contain a workstation entry for the console, and that entry must be of type
*SIGNON. (*SIGNON is a value for the AT parameter, specified
on the Add Work Station Entry (ADDWSE) command.) The *SIGNON
value indicates that the signon display is displayed at the workstation when
the subsystem is started. This requirement ensures that the subsystem has
an interactive device for entry of system and subsystem level commands. The
End System (ENDSYS) command ends the iSeries™ licensed
program to a single session (or signon display) at the console in the controlling
subsystem. A subsystem description that does not contain a workstation entry
for the console cannot be started as a controlling subsystem.
