Use TASK SYSGEN if online, or program RHDCSGEN if batch.

Enter: "MODIFY SYSTEM 123 EXTERNAL WAIT is <the organization-defined timeout number of wall-clock seconds> ." where 123 is the number of the system being modified.

Enter: "VALIDATE."

Enter: "GENERATE."

The change will become effective the next time the CV is stopped and started.

Note: The system EXTERNAL WAIT and can be overridden with the EXTERNAL WAIT parameter of the TASK statement.

Note: The UCFCICZ interface may also be used to clean up the CA IDMS session if access is through CICS and the CICS session has ended.
