Re: Is there a way to manage the inactivity timer on a user basis

Once you start down this path of a customized program reading the QINACTMSGQ you can do a LOT of different things. Here are some I've done over the years.

1) Different time of day, different time out. For example prime workday use 60 minutes. During nightly processing 10 minutes. Adjust the time as the day progresses.

2) Different class of users different actions. Example: Ware house look up only 'no security' user just leave them on (until backups perhaps.) HR Personnel disconnect them instead of killing job and make it quick, say 10 minutes. Your own sessions and you're sick of getting kicked off, then don't. :-)

3) Different workstations different actions: Example: System console user that must be there to run backups etc, never kill it.

You can dream up lots of useful scenarios once you get going.

Have Fun

Jack mentioned the QINACTMSGQ msgq. You can set that to anything you want
and then write a program that monitors that MSGQ. When the message comes in
you can then run that info thru your own disconnect/end program and decide
it you want to end that job.

I have a client using the inactivity timer to end jobs.



This is not a great solution and it sometimes will end a long running
interactive job.



Years ago there was a method where you could manage the inactive time on an
interactive CL program. Unfortunately that is not possible on a RPG
program,
or is it?



Is there a way to monitor a job and end inactive jobs - not using the
inactivity timer?
