Currently the timeout parameter for a CU*BASE GOLD session connected to the iSeries is set to 90 minutes. This means that after 90 minutes of inactivity, the session will be logged off automatically. This setting reflects the need to balance the system resources that are required to handle session timeouts across all workstations for all online clients. The shorter the period, the more users hit a session timeout at the same time, and that can have a noticeable impact on system efficiency.  In addition, given how end-users use CU*BASE for research and analysis, a timeout setting like this provides a better user experience to our clients.
