AS400 Access

Hi,

I have few remote users connecting to AS400 system. These users are using VPN connectivity to access iSeries system. Only single login allowed to these user profiles.

The users are facing problem when their internet connection is disconnected.

If the 5250 session is disconnected then these users are unable to login again within the inactive job time-out duration.

I have seen that, if static workstation id is specified in 5250 session configuration then system provides below options when the disconnected job reconnects within inactive job time-out duration.

************************Attempt to Recover Interactive Job********************************

Select one of the following:

1. Attempt to recover previous interactive job.

90. Sign off previous interactive job.

***************************************************************************************************

I have tried setting static workstation id in 5250 sessions, but still I don't get this message & users are unable to login till the activity timeout occurs or session is manually ended by operator.

It would be better if users can get the above two options, so that they can start their work immediately once the 5250 session reconnects within activity timer.

System values QINACTMSGQ & QDEVRCYACN are set to *DSCMSG.

Thanks & Regards,
