Way back in V5R1, IBM introduced the ability to route FTP and SMTP workloads to their own subsystems.

The Server Table in the IBM i Knowledge Center documents all the IBM i server jobs along with the default subsystem in which they run. The server table does state the subsystem is configurable for these servers, but it doesn’t give you any more information.

This is a new way to route work based upon the requesting user profile that augments the other ways you can route work to subsystems.

Years ago, when TCP/IP was starting to become the networking standard of choice, it was not automatically when the system was started. You had to edit the system start-up program to automate starting TCP/IP and related interfaces and servers.

We all know and use TCP/IP servers. Many of these servers are set up to start when TCP/IP is started and all servers have the ability for this configuration value to be changed.
