When you use 802.2 APPC router connections to the iSeries, you need to set the Switched Diconnect value in the APPC controller description to *NO so that the router doesn't disconnect when idling:
- Find the APPC controller:
WRKCFGSTS CFGTYPE(*CTL) CFGD(*ALL)
- Next to the APPC controller, type 2 and Enter to vary off the controller.
- Type 8 and Enter to work with the object description.
- From the Work with Controller Description screen, type 2 and Enter to change the controller description.
- Set Switched Disconnect to *NO.
- Return to the Work with Configuration Status screen:
WRKCFGSTS CFGTYPE(*CTL) CFGD(*ALL)
- Next to the APPC controller, type 1 and Enter to vary on the controller.
The APPC controller no longer disconnects when the router is idle.
