By default the server is assumed to be named 'SDSF'. You can use a different name or run multiple SDSF servers--each with its own name, of course--to access different JES2 MASs. From the SDSF manual for 1.7:
3.3 Accessing the server When the user accesses SDSF, the SDSF client attempts to connect to the SDSF server. The server that the client connects to is known as the local server. The following determine which server the client connects to, in this order: The SERVER parameter of the SDSF command used to invoke SDSF (described below) The SERVER keyword on the ISFPMAC macro of ISFPARMS. The default server as defined by the CONNECT statement in ISFPARMS. See "CONNECT statement" in topic 2.10.3. If none of those names the server to be used, the client attempts to connect to server SDSF. The user can request a specific server by adding a SERVER parameter to the SDSF command that invokes SDSF. The format of the server parameter is SERVER(server-name). For example, you might enter SDSF SERVER(SDSFT) from the TSO READY prompt or S.SERVER(SDSFT) from the ISPF command line. When you use the SERVER parameter with the SDSF command, you cannot add any other SDSF commands. To use the SERVER parameter you must have READ access to the ISFCMD.OPT.SERVER SAF resource in the SDSF class. (The SERVER parameter can be protected only through SAF, not ISFPARMS.)

You don't. When your users enter SDSF, it looks to see if a server is running and if so, uses it to classify the userid. (You might want to keep some manner of the load module around against the chance that the SDSF server isn't running for some reason.) <snip> ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
