Starting and stopping the WebFacing server on your IBM i host

Procedure

Start the WebFacing server on your IBM® i server. Enter the CL Command STRTCPSVR SERVER(*WEBFACING) from the command line. To stop the WebFacing server, enter ENDTCPSVR SERVER(*WEBFACING).
To ensure that the server is running, enter WRKACTJOB from the command line.
1. From the command line, enter WRKACTJOB JOB(QQF*) to list all WebFacing jobs.
  - QQFWFSVR -- the WebFacing 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 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 IBM i server command to work with system values.
