When I went to Z/OS 1.7, I started timing out. The vendor I have recommended
changing the VISTA.INI file to add KeepAliveTime=60. This will simulate some
activity to keep it active. Otherwise reconnect doesn't work and you'll need
another ID to cancel yourself.

The TN3270 reconnect failure is one of THE most annoying things about
remote
mainframe work.
Reconnect worked so well in the "good old SNA days," I keep thinking that
the TSO/Comm Server/whatever folks have not really accepted that TN3270 is
here to stay, and ought to be made to work well, not merely to work.

What technique? What was the name of the TN3270 parameter you changed?
What had you coded before? What have you coded now?
