Installing the Plex dispatcher for iSeries

Step 1: Transfer required objects to the iSeries

Installing the WebsydianExpress the objects have all ready been transferred to the iSeries.

Otherwise use FTP to transfer the save file to the iSeries and restore the objects.

Step 2: Requirements and considerations prior to starting the dispatcher

If running OS/400 V5R3 or later please rename the dispatcher objects as follows:

RNMOBJ OBJ(PLEX550/YOBSYTCPDP) OBJTYPE(*PGM) NEWOBJ(XYOBSYTCPDP)

RNMOBJ OBJ(PLEX550/VOBSYTCPDP) OBJTYPE(*PGM) NEWOBJ(YOBSYTCPDP)

The dispatcher job runs until it is ended manually or the system IPLs.
The user being used to start the dispatcher requires the following authorities:
- *USE authority for each iSeries user profile that initiates a client connection request is required for validating iSeries user profiles and passwords. If *ALLOBJ is not used, connecting clients cannot reset their own expired passwords.
- *USE authority is required for the objects QSYS/QSYGETPH and QSYS/QSYRLSPH.

It is recommended to create a user profile for running the Plex dispatcher

Step 3: Starting the iSeries dispatcher

The parameter passed to the YOBSYTCPDP program must be an available, unused port number. Use the command WRKTCPSTS *CNN to verify that the port is not being used.

Example 1: Submit the job from the command line

SBMJOB CMD(CALL PGM(PLEX550/YOBSYTCPDP) PARM('55000')) JOB(YOBLISTEN) JOBD(PLEX550/PLEX) JOBQ(QGPL/QINTER) USER(user)

Make sure to change the user parameter with the correct user.

Example 2: Write your own CL

Using the command as described in example 1 write your own CL program to start PLEX550/YOBSYSTPDP and call the CL program as part of your IPL.

Example 3: Create a Job Schedule Entry (ADDJOBSCDE)

The following is an example you could use if your IPL happened nightly:

ADDJOBSCDE CMD(CALL PGM(PLEX550/YOBSYTCPDP) PARM('55000')) FRQ(*WEEKLY)
SCDDATE(*NONE) SCDDAY(*ALL) SCDTIME('hh:mm:ss') JOBD(PLEX550/PLEX) JOBQ(QGPL/QINTER)
USER(user)

Make sure to enter correct schedule time and user profile to use.
