The system operator's message queue, QSYSOPR, is a good place to look for information about iSeries NetServer™. Messages are logged to the QSYSOPR message queue each time that iSeries NetServer starts and stops and when there are any specific errors to report.
The first message indicates whether iSeries NetServer initialized completely during startup. This message is important because it not only specifies whether iSeries NetServer started properly, but it also lists the iSeries NetServer server name.
If iSeries NetServer fails to start successfully, the QSYSOPR message queue logs an error message that indicates the reason for the failure.
