As I said, it's a dev system behind a VPN. At any given moment there are an average of zero users connected at the moment. If I connect to check something and leave my connection active, I'd like it to stay connected. There's no reason to force me off per se, ever.

Is there any reason why idle users should not be forced off the system.? Sounds like very sloppy system management.to allow this. ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Phil Smith III <[email protected]> Date: Wed, 14 May 2025, 15:02 Subject: Re: Disable user timeout via JWT? To: <[email protected]> Hmm. Still got an S522 overnight, so I guess that wasn't what you meant? TWT looks to have the same 24-hour limit as JWT? This is a dev system, we don't want users forced at all. Surely that's not unique, and doesn't require use of an exit?! -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Phil Smith III Sent: Tuesday, May 13, 2025 5:58 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Disable user timeout via JWT? I think I did #2: //DYNISPFM EXEC PGM=IKJEFT01,DYNAMNBR=200,TIME=1440 // PARM='%DYNISPF' That's in my logon PROC. Is that what you meant? Yes, I know very little about this end of z/OS (or most other ends). I did make the change from IBMUSER and then log off and back on to be sure I wasn't locking myself out! Is there a way to look at the time limit for a running job? I scrolled wayyyy right in SDSF and didn't see it. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Radoslaw Skorupka Sent: Saturday, May 10, 2025 11:16 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Disable user timeout via JWT?

We have a handful of users on a development system behind a VPN and don't want them forced off ever. Is there an easy way to achieve this? Few remarks: 1. Use TWT instead of JWT. TWT is quite new (younger than me ;-) ). It is for TSO users. 2. Use TIME=1440 (or NOLIMIT for modern installations ;-) ) in the logon procedure. It disables both JWT or TWT. 3. Don't forget about TCPIP settings. I can't remember the name, but network folks like to drop inactive sessions. This is independent from JWT/TWT, TIME=1440 and other TSO settings. -- Radoslaw Skorupka Lodz, Poland ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
