SUMMARY
=======
The SNA Server TN3270 Server configuration includes an Idle Timeout parameter
which causes the server to disconnect a TN3270 client session after the session
has been inactive for the idle timeout period. The idle timeout period defaults
to 120 minutes or 2 hours.
When the Idle Timeout expires for a TN3270 client session, the TN3270 server
drops the client's SNA session and sends the following message to the TN3270
client to display to the user:
TN3270E Service Error 503
Session terminated due to inactivity.
When this occurs, the TN3270 Server will also report the following event to the
Windows NT Server Event Viewer Application log:
Event ID: 603
Source: TN3270 Server
Description:
TN3270(E) session with client at <client IP address and port> using
LU <luname> terminated abnormally because:
TN3270E Service Error 503
Session terminated due to inactivity
NOTE: Event ID 603 can occur for a variety of reasons. Service Error 503 is a
specific cause for an abnormal session termination caused only by the TN3270
Server's idle timeout parameter.
