Hi,

Very often my mainframe Session disconnects when it is idle for 5 mts. Please let me know the solution to this.

don't let it stay idle for longer that 5 minutes.

This topic is discussed earlier. Make search on keywords like 'DISCONNECT' 'LOGOUT'.

Why do you want to keep Mainframe session idle for more than 5 mins?

Maybe my fingers were too fast in moving the topic..
rereading it is not at all clear to the environment active

at a first glance I had tought the T/S was referring to ibmmainframes sessions

once the environment has been clarified by the T/S I will move the topic to the appropriate forum

what environment are You working in
so that I can move the topic where it belongs

in some emulators there is a feature to switch the focus to the 3270 session when output is received

Hi,

Emulators' Macros can be used for such things, Which Emulator do You use, personal communication by any chance ?

Well,

I agree with Dick, I know this can be done but never used for personal use.

When You are logged on to Mainframes Your session "runs" as a JOB in the MVS console & it does need resources to keep Your session "alive". If it gets disconnected in five minutes ..Well, be little patient & log-in again.

I agree that there should be a timeout limit, but 5 minutes seems too short.

Hi,

Even at my shop it's nearly five minutes or less... I've got one query now, is there any way using which I can know how much "idle period" is provided to my RACF ID, without approaching to System Guys.
