You can do this in two ways:

1) Start it in the background (QShell), e.g. "rmiregistry &".

2) Start it from your program running on the AS/400, e.g.

/**
 * Program entry point.  Sets a security manager, instantiates the class,
 * starts an RMI registry,  and binds this instance to it.
 * @param argv[] Arguments (none used).
 */  
public static void main (String argv[]) {
  RMIMethodsImpl RMIMethods = null;
  Registry reg = null; 

  ////////////////////////////
  // set a security manager: 
  System.setSecurityManager (new RMISecurityManager()); 
 
  ///////////////////////////
  // set up server methods: 
  try { 
    System.out.println ("instantiating RMIMethodsImpl object..."); 
    RMIMethods = new RMIMethodsImpl (); 
  } catch (Exception e) { 
    System.out.println ("can't instantiate RMIMethodsImpl object!"); 
    System.out.println (e.getMessage()); 
    System.exit (1); 
  } 

  //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
  // create and export a standard RMI registry:
  System.out.println ("creating standard RMI registry...");
  try {
    reg = LocateRegistry.createRegistry (1099);
  } catch (Exception e) {
    System.out.println ("Can't create registry: "
                      + e.getMessage());
    System.exit (1);
  }

  ///////////////////////////////////////////////////
  // bind ourselves with the registry we've created
  System.out.println ("binding with RMI registry...");
  try {
    Thread.sleep (1000);
  } catch (Exception e) {
    // no-op
  }
  try {
    reg.rebind ("RMIMethods", RMIMethods);
    System.out.println ("RMIMethods bound in registry, "
                      + "awaiting client requests."); 
  } catch (Exception e) {
    System.out.println ("Can't bind with registry: "
                      + e.getMessage());
    System.exit (1);
  }
  // (note that Java keeps RMI servers running on another thread...) 
}
