Prevent TCP/IP processing

TCP/IP server jobs run in the QSYSWRK subsystem. You use the Start TCP/IP (STRTCP) command to start TCP/IP on your system.

If you do not want any TCP/IP processing or applications to run, do not use the STRTCP command. Your system ships with the public authority for the STRTCP command set to *EXCLUDE.

If you suspect that someone with access to the command is starting TCP/IP (during off-hours, for example), you can set up object auditing on the STRTCP command. The system will write an audit journal entry whenever a user runs the command.
