But lately, if I turn away for more than what seems like 5 minutes, you can hear me swear in Italian. Upon my return everything would be working fine. I had been use to loading up WDSc and/or SEU/PDM and leaving it up all day-often going away from my desk for hours. But mostly I launch IBM iSeries Access when I'm on Windows.īoth iSeries Access and RDp have been timing out-dropping the connection after a short idle period as I said, for the last couple of years. I usually don't have trouble with that package. The MochaSoft TN5250 software has a "Keep Alive" checkbox that tells the software to stay connected even when idle. To accomplish this remote work, I purchased a full license to IBM Rational Developer Platform for i, also (now) known as RDp and of course I use iSeries Access for Windows along with MochaSoft TN5250 to gain green screen access to the box. This website and my RPG IV development are all done using this remote system.

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. The app has been updated to accommodate IBM's Client Access v7 enhancements that better supports keep-alive.It now uses a Setup.MSI installation routine and installs the required unicode DLL if it isn't already on your system. I've modified the SetKeepAlive.exe program.So just dump it onto your PC in a folder where it should run from and use it.
So I worked on that in early April 2017 and have published it here. Users have asked for a version that runs on the Windows 10 platform.
