Activating an SICF Service

To activate or deactivate a service, select the service and choose Service/Virt.Host ® Activate or Deactivate. You can also use the context menu (by clicking on the right mouse button).

If you want to reactivate an inactive service, you can either activate the service node that is selected only (pushbutton Yes) or the service node that is selected, including all of its subservices that were maintained in the SICF (pushbutton Yes with tree icon ).

A service in the HTTP service tree can be active (black font) or inactive(gray font). A client (such as a Web browser) can only call active services.  If you call an inactive service, you will see a message that access to this page is locked.

In the following section, you can read about creating aliases.
