Configure the server: Start the instance

To start an instance, run the startServer script from the Qshell command line. To run the script, follow these steps:

1. Enter the Start Qshell (STRQSH) command on an OS/400 command line.

2. On the Qshell command line, use the cd command to change to the directory that contains the script. For example:

   cd /QIBM/ProdData/WebAS5/Base/bin

3. Run the startServer script. Enter this command:

   startServer -instance basicconfig

   where basicconfig is the name of the instance you want to start. For more information on the startServer script and additional parameters, see The startServer script.
