Re: TCP/IP Disconnected Sessions with Rumba

Thanks MaryLou,
The problem is so bad I have to disconnect all my sessions by HLLAPI
automation at the end of the day and a timer re-connects them in the
morning back up and logs in  .I could never be sure if a TCP/IP session was
going to stay  connected to the login screen overnight.
