Time-out Facility

You can set terminals that are logged onto an application to time out after a period of inactivity. This reduces the security risk of having them logged on but unattended.

A general time-out facility is provided in your product region. Use this to specify time-out intervals and actions for all terminals.

The time-out facility identifies a user at a terminal as having been inactive for a period and executes an action. Possible actions are to ring the terminal alarm, or to log the user off the system.

When time-out management is implemented, it affects all of the users of your region, unless their user ID definitions exempt them.

The TIMEOUT parameter group lets you administer the time-out facility. You can access parameter groups through the /PARMS panel shortcut.
