We are attempting to spawn a new wdx session using
CALL "*WindX.utl;Spawn","/pxplus/STARTUP"
This works without error when client is connected via telnet
But when connecting using SSH we get the following error
1}CALL "*WindX.utl;Spawn","/pxplus/STARTUP"
Error #13: File access mode invalid
Current program is /pxplus/lib/_windx.utl, line 5150
Any ideas what we are doing wrong?

Generally the spawn requires setting %pxplus_host so the system knows how to spawn the new process since it cannot directly sign the spawn user process onto the system.
What is your setting for %pxplus_host$?
-
It is not set

You need to set it.
To issue a spawn the system needs to have an open port that can be used to connect and start the process.
When using SSH you would set %pxplus_host$ to something like:
*servername;port
Where
- servername Contains the name or IP address of your server as seen by the workstation.
- port Contains port number to use. This port will need to opened on your server to allow external connections from the workstations.
