Starting and stopping the WebFacing runtime server on your iSeries host

  1. Start the WebFacing runtime server on your iSeries server. For V5R1 and later, enter STRTCPSVR SERVER(*WEBFACING) from the OS/400 command line. To stop the WebFacing server, enter ENDTCPSVR SERVER(*WEBFACING) from the OS/400 command line.
  2. To ensure that the server is running, enter WRKACTJOB from the OS/400 command line.
    1. From the OS/400 command line enter WRKACTJOB JOB(QQF*) to list all WebFacing jobs.
      • QQFWFSVR -- the WebFacing runtime server AND
      • QQFVTSVR -- the WebFacing virtual terminal server (More than one QQFVTSVR job may be running, which is normal.)
    Note: Check the system value QAUTOVRT. If this value is 0 then no browser sessions can be launched in place of VT (virtual terminal) jobs. The WebFacing runtime server relies on VT jobs. The value for QAUTOVRT determines the number of virtual terminal jobs that can be auto started.If necessary, set QAUTOVRT to *NOMAX or some value greater than 0. To change the value for QAUTOVRT, use the WRKSYSVAL iSeries server command to work with system values.
