BusinessLink iSeries 400 Software Startup Procedure
Product: BusinessLink/WEB
Modified Date:

The following statements will correctly start the BusinessLink iSeries 400 subsystems. These commands can be done interactively by a security officer or placed in the iSeries 400 startup program to ensure subsystem startup after IPL. If these commands are to be placed in the iSeries 400 startup program, follow each command with a 'MONMSG CPF0000' to avoid startup problems if the commands fail for any reason. All procedures should be done using an iSeries 400 user profile with QSECOFR class authority.

Step 1 - Determine WEB5250 HSM Server Number
  • Go to the ABL administration menu and enter the option to work with HSM servers. Locate the server named 'WEB5250' and note the number associated with it. In most cases, this will be the number '1'.

    Step 2 - Verify TCP/IP is Active (for Webserver Coprocessors)
  • The iSeries 400 subsystem 'QSYSWRK' should be active with job 'QTCP' running. You can determine this by issuing the 'WRKACTJOB' iSeries 400 command. If TCP/IP is not running, it must be started prior to starting any BusinessLink subsystem. To start TCP/IP, issue the command 'STRTCP' at command line.

    Step 3 - Start the ABL Subsystem
  • Enter the following command as iSeries 400 command line:
    ==> ABL/STRABL

    Step 4 - Start the ABLHSM Subsystem
  • Enter the following command at iSeries 400 command line:
    ==> SBMJOB CMD(ABL/STRSVRABL SVRNUM(1)) JOBD(ABL/ATFMAUTO) USER(ATFMAUTO)
    Replace the '1' with the appropriate number if the server number discovered in the first step was not the number '1'. This command should be repeated appropriately for any other HSM servers you wish to start.
