RE: SYS21 - Automatic Log Off

This brings back old memories. We had the same problem and set the system
values to logoff any session that was inactive after 30 minutes. We would do
deallocation sessions and clean up the license file several times a day. We
also used the group jobs option for green screen users to give them the feel
of having the ability to have multi-sessions with 1 license. We created IBM
menu screens for our production people so that they could do non-JBA tasks
and not be on a JBA menu. We also made sure to add blueberries for all tasks
needed with Explorer to cut down on server sessions, JBA as well as customer
tasks. Dealing with licenses can be a pain but this is how we handle it.
Need anything just ask?

Subject: SYS21 - Automatic Log Off


Standard system 3.5.2b SP4

We have recently merged with another company, when we merged
we purchased some additional user licences, but of course the
finance department would not allow me to purchase enough
licences to cover a worst case scenario.

I am now continually 'hitting the wall' and users complaining
they can not sign in.

Majority (90+%) of our users are using JBA Explorer and so
only get counted once even though they may have multiple
screens open.

As I understand it, there is no automatic log off facility for
inactive sessions in System 21.

Has anyone gone to the trouble of inventing an automatic log
off routine??

The routine would of course have to be smart enough to interrogate
what the user was doing before the session became inactive, we
dont want to bomb a Order entry (or lots of other examples)
session even if it is inactive.

Thanks,
Gary.
