To verify the user server startup you must start a user server, as these are only started on demand. Instructions on starting a user server are below.
We strongly recommended that you execute the following installation verification procedure for a z/Server user server before trying to connect from an Eclipse client. This procedure verifies that the configuration in the z/OS system is correct, without possible added complications from the network configuration.
The start of a z/Server user server can be tested by executing the REXX procedure TAU located in the REXX library. This is limited to support of port numbers up to a length of four characters.
Type EX in front of member TAU to execute the REXX exec. The "zServer Host -Driver" panel should open:
Verify that the IP stack used is TCPIP. If it is not, change the name in the last line under TCPName to the correct IP stack name. Press Enter. A message will confirm that another IP stack name is now used.
Set the IP address (IP-Addr) to the "home" IP address of the IP stack used.
Set the field Port to the listener port configured in the configuration dataset of the z/Server scheduler task.
Type "addusrv" (without the quotes) in the line named Command or select the point and shoot field AdduSrv in the panel header. A popup panel is shown prompting for the TSO password of the TSO user ID used. After entering the correct password and submitting the information, a z/Server user server should be started. Address space creation takes some time, so after a while, a response like the following is displayed:

If the response is not as shown above, then something went wrong during the start of the user server and you need to determine what that was:
Now you can confirm that the user server has started correctly. The joblogs can be found under the JOB names defined, by default, as the character W prefixed to your TSO userid. In addition to the regular JESx DD statements and SYSTSPRT/ZCOTSPRT, the job log of a running scheduler address space should contain the following DD names. Note that a user server address space has two MAINTASK JESx DD statements, one for each step in the user server startup process:
| DD Name | Function |
|---|---|
| MAINTASK | (LE) Messages from MAINTASK from step one of user server startup. |
| MAINTASK | (LE) Messages from MAINTASK from step two of user server startup. |
| LISTENER | (LE) Listener for client requests. |
| CMDTASK | (LE) Messages from CMDTASK; contains command output. |
| SRVTASK | (LE) Messages from SRVTASK. |
| T0000001 | (LE) Messages from T0000001, the worker task. |
| ISPLOG | (ISPF) Log file. |
A number of messages reference these DD statements as "LE message files".
A scheduler address space has started successfully when the hardcopy log shows the following, where XXXX is your TSO user ID:
+TAU0067I zServer startup completed for WXXXX for JESx and ASID 005E
If the user server was started successfully, a "Logoff" command should be sent afterwards to stop the user server again. Type "logoff" on the command line or select the point and shoot field Logoff in the panel header. The password is prompted for again. When the request is submitted with the correct password, a response like this should be displayed:
