Multi Connecttions to LPARs

We run RDz and PD tools in an environment with 8 LPARS, leading to many connect per user of which we have up to 200.
We therefore suggest an option in RDz and PD tools infrastructure to enable reuse of connection setup.
We have password synchronization so the developers password stays the same across all lpar's.

Please understand our frustration. We have eight different lpar's so it is really annoying to logon every day. Our developers complains a lot about this issue.

On the old 3270 we have a common logon (NetView Access) and from there we just use the menu to startup a session with a lpar.

    We feel this is a valid requirement but delivery within the RFE 2 year window is not likely. Please resubmit in 12-18 months for reconsideration if still valid.
