INACTIVE statement

Use the INACTIVE parameter statement to define the terminal SNA session inactivity timeout. A connection that has no client-VTAM® session activity for the specified time is dropped.

Telnet is initialized with a INACTIVE value of 0.

The INACTIVE statement can be coded in TELNETGLOBALS, TELNETPARMS, or PARMSGROUP statement blocks. See Rules for Telnet parameter statements and security parameters for more information about the hierarchy of parameter values.

Restriction: The INACTIVE statement applies to a KEEPOPEN connection only when an SNA session, with the VTAM application, is active.

Telnet uses one timer for the INACTIVE, PRTINACTIVE, and KEEPINACTIVE statements. See z/OS Communications Server: IP Configuration Guide for details.
