Normally when I have issues with the signon process it is because the job description includes a library that does not exist, or is not available. This is normally because someone has deleted a library, but could be because the job description does not include the correct IASP. One way of testing this is to submit a small program and have it use that job description with the job description. This allows you to review the job log and find out what errors may be there:
Sample SBMJOB. Replace JSTENTLIB/PLEX721 with your job description. This should run quickly, and should leave a job and spool files for examining.
SBMJOB CMD(WRKACTJOB OUTPUT(*PRINT))
JOBD(JSTENTLIB/PLEX721)
INLLIBL(*JOBD)
INLASPGRP(*JOBD)
LOG(4 0 *SECLVL)
We are running Plex with an IASP on our IBM-i. We have the Plex library on SYSBAS, but all of our application libraries are on IASP. I believe your users job descriptions (the ones mentioned in the INI file) will need to include IASP (Initial ASP group of IASP).
Our dispatcher is running from ASP device *SYSBAS

Subject: Does CA PLEX run on iASP?
Hi
We have a customers, who runs our Plex-application on iASP. I am not very familiar with the configuration of iASP, but I know that we had to "store" some libraries (like Plex-runtime-library) different than the other ones.
The current definition looks like this:
Plex Runtime library
ASP number . . . . . . . . . . . . . . : 1
ASP device . . . . . . . . . . . . . . : *SYSBAS
ASP group . . . . . . . . . . . . . . : *SYSBAS
Create authority . . . . . . . . . . . : *SYSVAL
Create object auditing . . . . . . . . : *SYSVAL
Datalibrary of application
ASP number . . . . . . . . . . . . . . : 33
ASP device . . . . . . . . . . . . . . : IASP1
ASP group . . . . . . . . . . . . . . : IASP1
Create authority . . . . . . . . . . . : *SYSVAL
Create object auditing . . . . . . . . : *SYSVAL
Maybe this information can help you.
regards
Markus
