There was a paper out there a couple of years ago explaining in simple
terms how to set it (WSA) >up. I tried it; it worked well until we went
DHCP and I couldn't guarantee my PC IP address was a >constant.
Two questions:
1. Does anybody know of this paper?
2. Is the DHCP address issue resolved?
Ted,
Are you refering to the article I wrote that was published in the Spring
2004 edition of TSO Times? If so, you can get to it by going to
http://www.tsotimes.com. Click 'archives' in the top left corner of the web
page, then click 'The Workstation (WS) Component of ISPF'.
As for constantly changing IP addresses, SimpList has a feature that might
help. If you initiate any action that requires a workstation connection (for
example, select a data set for file transfer, or select a member to edit on
a workstation editor, etc.), SimpList will determine if a workstation
connection already exists. If it doesn't, SimpList will dynamically
determine the IP address to connect to (note: this requires a direct
TSO/Telnet connection). If you don't have a direct TSO/Telnet connection you
can supply a static IP address. Either way, SimpList will automatically set
up the workstation connection.
You can also set it up so SimpList will prompt you to supply an IP address.
No matter how you do it, it makes setting up a workstation connection really
easy. Plus, once you have a workstation connection set up, SimpList gives
you a lot more options than those found in native ISPF.
Hope this helps,
Dave Salt
