Starting and stopping on the AS/400

  • To start the LexiCom server.
    1. From the AS/400 command line, type the command STRLEXSVR to start the LexiCom server. 
      The server will take a few minutes to start.
      The server is fully started when port 1099 and the HTTP(/S) port (if using AS2) are active. 
      If using only the FTP(/S) and/or HTTP(/S) protocols, the server is fully started when port 1099 is active.  Additionally, the message 'LexiCom AS/400 process is now running.' is written to the QSYSOPR log.
    2. You can easily view the existence of these ports from System i Navigator (under Network > TCP/IP Configuration > IPv4 > Connections), or you can type the WRKTCPSTS or the netstat command from the AS/400 command line and then select Option 3 (Work with IPv4 connection status).
  • To stop the Cleo LexiCom server.
    1. Type the command ENDLEXSVR from the AS/400 command line.

      You can also stop the Cleo LexiCom server from the Cleo LexiCom UI running through the IFS mapped drive.   Select the File > Stop AS/400 menu option.

      A dialog box appears asking you to confirm that you want to stop the LexiCom AS/400 process.

      The message, 'LexiCom AS/400 process is stopping…' is written to the QSYSOPR log. 

    2. Click on the "Yes" button and the LexiCom AS/400 process will be stopped and the message ‘LexiCom AS/400 process has stopped.’ will be written to the QSYSOPR log.

      It may take several minutes for the server to stop, especially if the server is currently processing messages.

    3. You can verify the server has stopped by checking the port connections as described above or by checking the QSYSOPR log for the message ‘LexiCom AS/400 process has stopped.’.

When you want to start the Cleo LexiCom application again on the AS/400, you must run the STRLEXSVR command from the AS/400 command line.
