There are several factors that you must consider whenever you
disconnect a job.
- An option on the System Request menu allows you to disconnect an interactive
job, causing the signon display to appear. The option calls the Disconnect
Job DSCJOB command.
- When connecting with a job again, the values specified on the signon display
for program, menu, and current library are ignored.
- A job which has PC organizer or PC text assist function active cannot
be disconnected.
- A TCP/IP TELNET job can be disconnected if the session is using a user
specified named device description. You can create a user specified named
device description using one of the following methods:
- Using Network Stations with the DISPLAY NAME parameter
- Using iSeries™ Client
Access support with the workstation ID function
- Using the TCP/IP TELNET Device Initialization exit point to specify a
workstation name.
- If the job cannot be disconnected for any reason, the job will be ended
instead.
- All disconnected jobs in the subsystem end when the subsystem ends. If
a subsystem is ending, the DSCJOB command cannot be issued
in any of the jobs in the subsystem.
- The system value Disconnect Job Interval (QDSCJOBITV) can be used to indicate
a time interval for which a job can be disconnected. If the time interval
is reached, the disconnected job ends
- Disconnected jobs that have not exceeded the QDSCJOBITV system value will
end when the subsystem is ended or when an IPL occurs.
