<div><p>The timeout interval action system value specifies what the system

<p>If you select end the job, the system ends any job that has been inactive

<p><span class="uicontrol">Relationship to security policy</span></p>
|
|
<p>Within your security policy you should inform users your company's expectations
|
|
for managing their signon activities. Inactive jobs pose a potential risk
|
|
to system resources because someone could gain access to your system through
|
|
an inactive terminal. However, normal job duties often interrupt users at
|
|
their workstations, so you need to provide some flexibility for these expected
|
|
interruptions. Using the interactive job system values provide a means to
|
|
maintain security of system resources and provide users flexibility to perform
|
|
all their job responsibilities. Your security policy should state expectations
|
|
for users regarding signon activities to both their workstations and to system
|
|
to which they have access. For example, users are expected to password protected
|
|
their workstations and enable password protection every time they leave their
|
|
workstation. If they need to leave their workstation while performing a job
|
|
on the system, locking their workstation provides a first barrier to anyone
|
|
who tries to gain access to your system through that workstation. However,
|
|
password protection is only the first line of defense. Use the interactive
|
|
job system values to ensure that malicious users do not gain access to system
|
|
resources.</p>
|
|
<p>If a job exceeds the timeout interval for inactive jobs, the
|
|
system takes the specified timeout interval action. If this action is to disconnect
|
|
the job, the system also waits until the timeout interval for disconnected
|
|
jobs has elapsed before ending the job. Assume that you have set the inactive
|
|
job timeout to 30 minutes and the disconnected job timeout interval to 300
|
|
minutes, or 5 hours. If a user forgets to signoff at 9:30 a.m., the system
|
|
disconnects that job at 10:00 a.m. and ends the job at 3:00 p.m.</p>
|
|
<p>When the system ends or disconnects a job, any data on the user's
|
|
display that has not yet been entered into the system will be lost. If the
|
|
user signs on to the same workstation before the disconnected job timeout
|
|
elapses, then the job resumes from the point where the system disconnected
|
|
the job.</p>
