QINACTITV System Value

[G.Gaunt]

I don't know an override you want, but name a message queue in QINACTMSGQ and run a never ending program to wait on CPI1126 in that queue and select the jobs you want to cancel.

Does anyone out there know a way to override the value set by the QINACTITV System Value? We would like our average users to time-out after about 15 minutes, however we would like administrators and operators to be allowed to stay connected a while longer. Any ideas? Thanks in advance for your help. wfw

I am not sure how you can get around the who to inactivate when setting a system parameter. But keep in mind that there are 3 system values that you are dealing with when you want to end or disconnect a session after a period of time. QINACTITV, QINACTMSGQ, and QDSCJOBITV are the 3 used. QINACTITV sets the time that you want the action to take place. When a session has no activity within the time given, QINACTMSGQ dictates what action to perform. I believe the default is *DSCJOB (Disconnect Job). This can be a problem if you are using virtual devices and have this happening a lot. You will end up with a lot of unused devices out there. QDSCJOBITV sets the time to end the disconnected device. We have it setup for 120 minutes in QINACTITV and *ENDJOB in the QINACTMSGQ - so the emulator (Client Access in our case) will go back to the logon screen if it is not used, and that device is free to be used again. I also believe that this is not subsystem specific - so if your admins go into QCTL verses QINTER, they will still be under the time limit set. Kristian
