Configure an interactive subsystem: Customize QINTER

When you begin using your own set of subsystems, you might not need to use QINTER. However, if you have a reason to continue to use QINTER, you need to ensure that QINTER is set up NOT to allocate the workstations that you want to run under your other subsystems. There are two possible ways to do this.

Remove the *ALL workstation entry from QINTER:
  1. Remove the *ALL workstation entry from QINTER, and then add specific workstation entries that indicate which devices you want QINTER to allocate. Removing the workstation type entry of *ALL is to prevent QINTER from attempting to allocate all workstations.
  2. Add a workstation entry for devices named DSP* to allow all twinax-attached display devices to continue to be allocated to QINTER.
In this example, the twinax-attached display devices will continue to run in QINTER; QINTER will not attempt to allocate any other devices.

Second method

Add a workstation entry to tell QINTER not to allocate the devices that are assigned to other subsystems. However, allow QINTER to continue to allocate any other device that is not allocated to a subsystem. This keeps the workstation type entry of *ALL in the QINTER subsystem and adds workstation name entries with the AT parameter for those devices that are allocated to different subsystems.
