Before you start the InterFormNG2 service you should consider, if the port number (default 8086) is to be used. If not, you can change the port number.
The job running the InterFormNG2 service is started/stopped with the IFORMNG2/IFORMNG2 subsystem.
Please notice, that the Spool2XML monitor jobs are also started/stopped with the subsystem.
You can start/stop the subsystem in these ways:
1.It is recommended to setup your IBM i to start the IFORMNG2/IFORMNG2 subsystem at IPL.
2.You can start and stop the subsystem, IFORMNG2/IFORMNG2 manually via the menu.
3.You can also use commands to start and stop the subsystem, IFORMNG2/IFORMNG2.
Start InterformNG2 at IPL
It is recommended to ensure, that the IFORMNG2/IFORMNG2 subsystem is started automatically during IPL. Such an automatic start should be inserted as one of the last commands in the program referenced in the system value, QSTRUPPGM. You can use the command, IFORMNG2/NG2STRSBS to start the IFORMNG2 subsystem. The command, NG2STRSBS command also includes a cleanup of old workfiles. You can also use the OS400 command, STRSBS SBSD(IFORMNG2/IFORMNG2), which does not perform a cleanup of workfiles. At best a MONMSG CPF0000 should also be added after the start of this subsystem. Please refer to your system administrator or InterForm support for more details.
Start/stop InterFormNG2 via the menu
You can manually start and stop InterFormNG2, if you run the command, IFORMNG2/IFORMNG2:
IFORMNG2 InterForm NG2 Main Menu
Select one of the following: System . . . : PMK250 User . . . . : KSE Administration Version . . : 20.01 1. Work with monitored output queues 2. Work with XML definitions 5. Work with IFORMNG2 output queue
10. Start IFORMNG2 subsystem 11. End IFORMNG2 subsystem 12. Work with IFORMNG2 subsystem
31. Display print service log
Selection or command ===>
F3=Exit F4=Prompt F9=Retrieve F12=Cancel F13=Information Assistant F16=System main menu
|
Here you can use these options to start and stop the IFORMNG2 subsystem and InterFormNG2:
10. Start IFORMNG2 subsystem
11. End IFORMNG2 subsystem
Start/stop InterFormNG2 with commands
To start InterFormNG2 and the spool2XML monitor jobs you can run either of these commands:
STRSBS SBSD(IFORMNG2/IFORMNG2) or
IFORMNG2/NG2STRSBS
The last command will include a cleanup of old workfiles.
You run this command to stop InterFormNG2 and the Spool2XML monitor jobs:
ENDSBS SBSD(IFORMNG2/IFORMNG2) or
IFORMNG2/NG2ENDSBS
Remember to specify the OPTION and DELAY parameters to specify how fast the jobs are to be taken down.
