I thought, 'Wow this is just a complex way to do exactly what I do in MochaSoft's TN5250 with a checkbox', but hey IBM was never accused of doing anything easy. By adding 'KeepAlive=Y' to that file, it is supposed to keep the session from disconnecting from the host. These are the files created by iSeries Access when you create a host connection configuration and save it. Another suggestion that I had my hopes up, was in a forum post somewhere that indicated there was a. None have worked except the KeepAlive checkbox in the Mochasoft TN5250 program.

Even if you've already run SetKeepAlive.exe on your PCs, you should download, install and re-run setKeepAlive.įor the last few years I've been working remotely-away from the Power7 box that runs IBM i operating system.

I've modified the SetKeepAlive.exe program.
