Activating the QSYSWRK subsystem

The system job for a TCP/IP application must start in the QSYSWRK subsystem. The spooling subsystem, QSPL, needs to be active to run printer pass-through sessions.

To check the status of the QSYSWRK subsystem, complete the following steps:
  1. In the character-based interface, type WRKSBS (Work with active subsystems).
  2. Verify that the following systems are displayed:
    • QSYSWRK
    • QINTER
    • QSPL

If the QSYSWRK subsystem is not active, complete the following steps:

  1. In the character-based interface, type STRSBS (Start subsystem).
  2. Type QSYSWRK for the Subsystem description and QSYS for the Library, then press Enter.
  3. Repeat for Subsystem name QINTER with Library QSYS and for Subsystem name QSPL and Library QSYS.

If you do not know which subsystem to use for interactive jobs, type WRKSBSD *ALL in the character-based interface. The Work Station Type entries show you which device is allocated to a subsystem.
