Re: Keeping ACS sessions alive -- MIDRANGE-L

I am NOT an expert in this area - but for RDi sessions we had to use CHGTCPA TCPKEEPALV(5) to ensure that keep alives were sent frequently enough to avoid the firewall timing things out. I have noticed that since applying that my 5250 also stays alive a lot longer so maybe ...

Paul and Bryan,

Thanks for the responses. We had already looked at the keep alive parameter in the ACS setup. As far as the system values go, here are our values for each:

* QDEVRCYACN - *DSCMSG
* QINACTITV - 300 minutes
* QINACTMSGQ - *ENDJOB
* QDSCJOBITV - 10 minutes

The only one that I'm thinking could help in this case is possibly the QDSCJOBITV value. Right now, with our ASC keep alive parameter set to "Yes", it does appear to disconnect sessions instead of signing them off completely. Do you know what it would do if we increased this value? Is it possible it would not disconnect the job at all? Or is this value just saying it will leave it disconnected for 10 minutes and then end it?
