XAC: Non-SSH TACL Sessions Timing Out

XAC: Non-SSH TACL Sessions Timing Out

Check the Timeout Value setting for the telserv process:

1. SCF
2. INFO PROCESS $<telserv process>, DETAIL     (where $<telserv process> is the telserv process that started the session, e.g. $ZTN0)

Example:

3-> info process $ztn0,detail

TELSERV Detailed Info PROCESS \CHICAGO.$ZTN0

 PCPU................... 1                       BCPU................... 0
 PPIN................... 467                     BPIN................... 495
 TACL................... ON                     Transport Process..... $ZTC0
*Menu................... ON                    Transport Type......... TCP/IP
*Timeout Value.......... N/A               Port................... 23
*Banner Timeout Value... N/A         Total Services......... 3
*Max Terminals.......... 512              Total Terminals........ 11
 Program................ \CHICAGO.$SYSTEM.SYS07.TELSERV
*CPU List............... 0  ,1  ,2  ,3  ,4  ,5  ,6  ,7  ,8  ,9  ,10 ,11 ,12 ,13
 ,14 ,15
*DROPCR................. OFF

To avoid sessions timing out due to the telserv process Timeout Value setting, any value other than "N/A" in this field should be cleared:

1. SCF

2. ALTER PROCESS $<telserv Process>, TIMEOUTVALUE 32767

This will set the field value to "N/A"

Setting the process to a value of 32767 specified "infinite" or in effect, no timeout value.  IT IS IMPORTANT THAT 32767 BE SPECIFIED. One digit less, e.g 32766 and the exact value of 32766 minutes will be configured.
