Performance system values: Available display station pass-through server jobs
The Available display station pass-through server jobs system value is also known as QPASTHRSVR. You can use this system value to specify the number of pass-through server jobs that are available to process IBM® i display station pass-through, IBM i Access workstation function (WSF), and other 5250 emulation programs on programmable workstations.

What can I do with this system value?
You can specify the number of pass-through server jobs that are available to process IBM i display station pass-through and other 5250 emulation programs on programmable workstations that connect to IBM i using Advanced Program-to-Program Communication (APPC) or Advanced Peer-to-Peer Networking (APPN).
The server jobs are not needed for Telnet and Virtual Terminal (VTM) APIs. Therefore, if you only use Telnet and VTM, you might want to decrease the value specified for the number of pass-through server jobs.
This system value has the following options:
- System calculated (*CALC)
- The operating system calculates the number of pass-through server jobs. This is the recommended setting.
- 0-100 jobs (0-100)
- Specify the number of pass-through server jobs that are available to process IBM i display station pass-through, IBM i Access workstation function (WSF), and other 5250 emulation programs on programmable workstations that connect to IBM i using Advanced Program-to-Program Communication (APPC) or Advanced Peer-to-Peer Networking (APPN).
