Re: QDSCJOBITV System Value

Wanna know what's really dumb about the users complaining over their
Windows PC5250 sessions disconnecting after 4 hours? Windows times
out long long before then. They have to Ctl-Alt-Del to get back onto
Windows, but they don't complain about that.

It's a "Goldilocks" problem--  "Four hours is too long!"  "Five minutes
is too short!"

We set our systems to disconnect at 90 minutes and end the job an hour
after that (or vice-versa).  That's enough time for lunch plus a
meeting.  But if you haven't used your session for 2-1/2 hours...

Our auditors would like the disconnect time to be a lot shorter (like 20
minutes), but 'business reasons' prevailed.

There are also some user complaints that their job with 'disconnect
early,' before the 90 minutes have expired.  There seems to be some
relation to the copy of iSeries Access on their PC being up-to-date.
