Re: session timeout/sleep

I've posted it at code.midrange.com. Here are two URL's, one for the
RPG and the other for the CL.

You would also need to set the inactivity timer system value:

System value . . . . . : QINACTITV
Description . . . . . : Inactive job time-out
Time-out interval in
minutes . . . . . . : 20 *NONE, 5-300

Then your code would decide who gets disconnected and so on. Here's
how to stop the NEP:

PGM
SNDPGMMSG MSGID(CPF9898) MSGF(QCPFMSG) MSGDTA('STOP') +
TOMSGQ(INACTMSGQ)
ENDPGM

I'll write an IBM System Magazine EXTRA newsletter article about it.

Is it proprietary or can you post to code.midrange.com? I'm also
interested in selectively timing out groups of users.

We have a couple of thousand sales associates working in a retail
environment where they will signon to the iSeries, do something
(order, inquiry, etc.) and then walk away (to help a customer, etc.).

The company also has customer service reps working on the iSeries
fielding requests at a call center.

Each has different needs.

The company wants to selectively timeout session for these two groups
of users based on inactivity. One group needs to timeout after 8
minutes and the other after 17 minutes.

When the user signs back on the company wants them to be able to
continue where they left off.

Tall order.

Anyone deal with this kind of request before? TCP timeouts won't
address this issue.
