RE: Timeout on iSeries Access V5R4 vs. V5R2

Dennis,

Locate the .WS file in whatever directory you use, open it with notepad, and
add the KeepAlive statement as shown here following the [Telnet5250]
statement:

[Communication]
Link=telnet5250
Session=5250
[Telnet5250]
KeepAlive=Y
HostName=PROFILE270
Security=CA400

Subject: Timeout on iSeries Access V5R4 vs. V5R2

I have recently installed V5R4 iSeries Access on a Vista 64 machine. Until
that time, I've stuck with V5R2 over the years for no particular reason.
But Vista 64 and V5R2 "Access" do not get along, so I have upgraded. I
have found that my V5R4 sessions will time out frequently (perhaps they lack
a keepalive setting that I cannot find), while the V5R2 PCs stay active.

From the PC perspective, when this "timeout" occurs, I see "resolving to

host" on the next press of ENTER or function key or whatever. and then I am
blessed with a new signon display.



Will one of you kind souls please point me to the setting that needs to be
manipulated in order to make this a non-issue?


Thanks,
