Usage Guidelines
The idle-time command can be entered in either TN3270 configuration mode or PU configuration
mode. A value entered in TN3270 mode applies to all PUs for that TN3270 server, except as
overridden by values entered in PU configuration mode.
A no idle-time command entered in PU configuration mode will restore the idle-time value entered
in TN3270 command mode.
The idle-time command affects currently active and future TN3270 sessions. For example, if the
idle-time value isreduced from900 secondsto600 seconds,sessions thathave beenidlefor between
600 and 900 seconds are immediately disconnected.
