Problem:

All terminals use a temporary storage queue right now.  How can we convert all to use a recoverable storage queue?

Also, is there a way to set the default to recoverable storage queue in place of the temp as it is now?

Resolution:

If the existing configuration does not use predefined queues, which is the typical usage, then depending on the queue name it might be possible to use a generic TST definition.

When you define a Temporary Storage Table (TST) entry the name can be up to 8 characters long. If you specify less than 8 characters then you can still get a generic match.

For example, assuming you have terminals A000 and B000 each running the transaction TEST. If the TS queue name is of the form TESTA000 where the transid is prepended to the termid then you can define a protected TS queue of 'TEST'.

All TS queues that start with the prefix TEST will match the generic TST entry and use its configuration.
