Use the Time-out interval for inactive jobs and when a job reaches time-out options to specify how many minutes to give a job the chance to perform an activity before it is marked as inactive and the action to take when the time limit for an inactive job expires.
The time-out interval allows you to specify the inactive job time-out interval in minutes. When this time limit expires, the system takes action on inactive interactive jobs. This system value determines when to take action on an inactive job. Excluded are local jobs that are currently signed-on to a remote system. For example, a workstation is directly attached to System A, and System A has this system value set on. If you use pass-through or Telnet to sign on to System B, the time-out value set on System A does not affect this workstation.
The following are possible options:
The system does not check for inactive interactive jobs.
The number of minutes a job can be inactive before action is taken.
