NS/VT Timed Reads

The NS/VT protocol allows the host to set a time limit when it reads from the terminal. If the read has not been satisfied within the set time limit, the NS/VT client notifies the host and terminates the read. Typically, a host application uses this capability for security and when notified that the read has timed out, it automatically logs the user off of the host. A setting of Yes means that timed reads are treated normally and the host is
notified when the time expires. A setting of No means that the time parameter of reads is ignored by the NS/VT client and that reads will never time out. The default setting is No.

Notes:

• When this setting is Yes, session pools on a Host Integrator Server may be at risk if a session is idle long enough for the timed read to expire.
• Setting this to No prevents losing a session during the modeling process.
