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:
WRKCFGSTS CFGTYPE(*CTL) CFGD(*ALL)
WRKCFGSTS CFGTYPE(*CTL) CFGD(*ALL)
The APPC controller no longer disconnects when the router is idle.
