  • 1.  SESSION_EXPIRE(1400) in IZUPRM00 member.

    Hello all,

     

    I am tossing about changing the SESSION_EXPIRE value, so that my session does not time out from one day to the next while I am installing z/OS 3.1.

    Has anyone set their values to the above, or other long values to prevent day-to-day timeouts while working?

     

    I set it to 1400 and restarted the Angel and Server and I saw this in the Server startup:

    IZUG018W: The property LTPA_EXPIRE is set to 1405.      ç New value + 5.                        

     WARNING: The value specified for SESSION_EXPIRE must be less than LTPA_EXPIRE.  ç Which it is now.

     

    In looking at the warning message: IZUG018W:

    IZUG018W   The property the-property is set to the-value. The value is        

               incorrect. The default value of the-default will be used.       

                                                                                 

    Explanation                                                                   

    The specified timeout value is incorrect. The specified default value will be used.  

     

    Now this leads me to believe that the value I set – 1400 – is not correct. Any ideas?

     

                                                                          

    Best Regards,

    Hello,

    Yes, we have clients who have changed SESSION_EXPIRE value to 43200 (which is 30 days). Please note that value is in minutes. So setting SESSION_EXPIRE to 1400 will cause time out to happen before 24 hours (1440 minutes).

    It's normal to get warning message as you have seen when z/OSMF processes SESSION_EXPIRE value that is valid. LTPA_EXPIRE is bumped up by 5 minutes than the SESSION_EXPIRE value.

    IZUG018W: The property LTPA_EXPIRE is set to 1405.              

     WARNING: The value specified for SESSION_EXPIRE must be less than LTPA_EXPIRE. 

    Following message in documentation need to be updated with what you are observing. We will take care of fixing documentation.

    IZUG018W
    The property the-property is set to the-value. The value is incorrect. The default value of the-default will be used.
