The SERSERVC HTTP server can be started and stopped using standard console commands in SDSF. To start the server, enter:
/S SERSERVC
The server can be stopped (cancelled) from SDSF at any time. To stop the server, enter:
/C SERSERVC
However, SERSERVC is designed for high availability. When testing is complete, consider adding SERSERVC to the list of started tasks that are brought up at IPL time.
It does no harm to cancel SERSERVC with a console command, but orderly shutdown is the preferred method. To initiate an orderly shutdown of the server, type
SERCMD SHUTDOWN
at the TSO command line. You should receive the response ok.
During an orderly shutdown, SERSERVC copies its message log (msglog), error log (stderr), and standard output (stdout) to SYSOUT * before terminating execution.
