RE: QDSCJOBITV System Value

I used to use DSCJOB. Was very nice. But, inactivity time was lowered. When that was done, a disconnected job became eligible for being ended. If job is not disconnected, inactivity causes it to be disconnected, and then ended.

Now, I just leave my session running. Locked office. Not as nice as being able to disconnect the job was.

Change QINACTIV from *NONE to some other value.

I started a 5250 session. Got into WRKQRY. Clicked on the X to abort the
session without logging off or anything. I immediately got these in
DSPLOG
Job 838158/ROB/ROBCODE started on 05/19/10 at 09:39:54 in subsystem QINTER
in
Session to device ROBCODE ended normally.
Session stopped by a request from device ROBCODE.
Job 838158/ROB/ROBCODE ended on 05/19/10 at 09:40:02; .035 seconds used;
end

7.1 of i and 7.1 of System i Access for Windows.
System value QDSCJOBITV is set to 240.
System value QINACTITV is set to *NONE
System value QINACTMSGQ is set to *ENDJOB

Started the session again and got right back to sign on screen.

Perhaps there are some other system values at play here?

Our users don't get a command line to run any commands.
We have several that refuse to sign off of the system and
just close their session and shut down their PC.

If you want to set it to one minute why bother with setting QINACTMSGQ
to
*DSCJOB? Set it to *ENDJOB instead.
See also QINACTITV.

Or do you have users running the DSCJOB command? Help me understand,
you're stuck in twinax hell. Since the users do not have a PC they
can't
just activate the screen saver with a password to go to the restroom.
So
they are in the middle of something and they don't want t back all the
way
out. So they try DSCJOB instead. They "do their duty" and return. Log

back in and resume work. And your goal is to punish them for being
security conscious and instructing them to just leave it signed on?

I'd give them a little over an hour to go to lunch. IOW set QDSCJOBITV
to
70 or 90 minutes.

This is set to a default of 240 minutes on a system. Is there any
reason why we should wait 4 hours before a disconnected job is ended?
Is there any possible ramifications of changing it to something like 5
minutes, or even 1 minute? I just thought I'd ask here before making
the change.
