RE: QINACTITV fails to sign user off

Hi Dale,

What do you have specified for system value QINACTMSGQ? Once the inactivity interval expires, you can either end the job (*ENDJOB), disconnect the job (*DSCJOB) or have the system send messages to the message queue of your choice. If you have the message sent to a message queue but don't act on those messages, nothing happens.

Regards,
Philip Seay

Subject: QINACTITV fails to sign user off

I have QINACTITV set to 60 minutes and it has always worked fine.

But on Friday, one of our users started a job at 15:49 and it did not
time out until 20:42, about 5 hours later. Naturally, this kept some
files active and they could not be processed by our nightly batch jobs.


Any suggestions as to what caused this and how I can prevent it from
happening again?

I know I can shut down QINTER and I used to do that, but I an trying to
figure out what caused this error.

The user is running client access, and I suppose it is possible she
ended the windows job without signing off the 400. Could that cause the
inactivity timer to goof up?

How do you check for that sort of thing?
