Re: QINACTITV and QINACTMSGQ recommendations

[PaulMmn <PaulMmn@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

There's a 3rd piece of that puzzle-- We use the following system values:

QINACTITV  -  90

QINACTMGQ  -  *DSCJOB

QDSCJOBITV  -  60

This allows an interactive job to be returned to a signon screen 
after 90 minutes of inactivity.  After another 60 minutes, the 
disconnected job is ended.

During the QDSCJOBITV (60 min) interval, if the user returns to their 
disconnected session and signs back on again, their session 
re-connects and continues as if there was no interruption.

Yes, those are long intervals.  However, they're a compromise between 
users, the auditors, and IT.   IT and the auditors lost.

If you're concerned about tasks and sessions being arbitrarily ended 
and rolling back transactions, it's more of an issue with an 
application not using a COMMIT command in a timely fashion.

PC sessions are locked back to a PC signon screen at a much shorter interval!
