idle-time
Use the idle-timeTN3270 configuration command to specify how many seconds of LU inactivity, from both host and client, before the TN3270 session is disconnected. Use the no form of this command to cancel the idle time period and return to the default.
idle-time seconds no idle-time
Syntax Description | |
seconds | Number of seconds, from 0 to 65535. A value of 0 means |
| the session is never disconnected. |
Defaults
The default in TN3270 configuration mode is that the session is never disconnected (0).
The default in PU configuration mode is the value currently configured in TN3270 configuration mode.
Command Modes
TN3270 configuration
PU configuration
Usage Guidelines
The idle-timecommand can be entered in either TN3270 configuration mode or PU configuration mode. A value entered in TN3270 mode applies to all PUs for that TN3270 server, except as overridden by values entered in PU configuration mode.
A no idle-timecommand entered in PU configuration mode will restore the idle-time value entered in TN3270 command mode.
The idle-timecommand affects currently active and future TN3270 sessions. For example, if the idle-timevalue is reduced from 900 seconds to 600 seconds, sessions that have been idle for between 600 and 900 seconds are immediately disconnected.
Note For the purposes of idle-time logic, TIMING-MARKs generated by the keepalive logic do not constitute “activity.”
Examples
The following command sets an idle-time disconnect value of 10 minutes:
idle-time 600
The following command entered in TN3270 configuration mode sets the default idle-time disconnect value to 0, or never disconnect:
no idle-time
