Start iSeries NetServer at IPL

iSeries NetServer™ is now automatically started and ended as a TCP server when the Start TCP/IP (STRTCP) or End TCP/IP (ENDTCP) commands are evoked. Additionally, iSeries NetServer can be started and ended as an individual TCP/IP server with the use of the Start TCP/IP Server (STRTCPSVR SERVER(*NETSVR)) and End TCP/IP Server (ENDTCPSVR SERVER(*NETSVR)) commands.

You can specify whether the iSeries NetServer starts automatically when TCP/IP is started by selecting the Start when TCP/IP is started option on the iSeries NetServer General Next Start dialog box. This value affects TCP/IP start behavior (it is not an iSeries NetServer property), so the changes will not take effect immediately. When using iSeries Navigator in iSeries Access for Windows, you can find this dialog box by:

  1. In iSeries Navigator, expand Network> Servers> TCP/IP> iSeries NetServer.
  2. Right click on the iSeries NetServer icon
  3. Select Properties
  4. Select the General tab
  5. Press the Next Start button

QZLSSERVER job resides in the QSERVER subsystem. The Start Server (QZSLSTRS) and End Server (QZLSENDS) APIs still start and end the server. Because of this, no changes are needed in your start-up program if the QSERVER subsystem is started before TCP/IP is started.
