Re: RDI connections to IBM i

[Vern Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

We set ours to 25 minutes, I believe - no more dropped connections on 
that LPAR - others still drop after a number of minutes idle.

I think the idea is to set it to something just a bit less than the 
network's setting - which, I think Mike, you said this - is usually 15 
or 30 minutes.

We didn't set it on our production LPARs - my boss wasn't ready to risk 
affecting their network performance.

Cheers
Vern
