Martha,

We always run with disconnected consoles  for some of our z/OS guests -
here's what
we have defined for them ...

First, here's the CP command sequence that we use for these z/OS guests:

'CP TERM BRKKEY PF12'
'CP TERM BREAKIN MINIMAL'
'CP TERM LINESIZE 80'
'CP SET RUN ON'
'CP TERM CONMODE 3270' || '15'X || 'IPL ...'

Second, you may want to change the default for the Disconnect_Timeout
option of the Feature statement in SYSTEM CONFIG. The default is
15 minutes, which sounds like what may be happening to you. This
statement is not in the SYSTEM CONFIG after initial installation,
so you will need to add it - you can turn it off as follows:

Features ,
  Disconnect_Timeout Off ,        /* Disable Automatic Logoff */

Third, you shouldn't have to do anything special within z/OS, at
least we haven't.
