PQ81941: Console shows AppServer Transaction Inactivity Timeout in seconds which is correct but infocenter says in milliseconds.

APAR status
Closed as documentation error.

Error description
Infocenter section "http://www-306.ibm.com/software/webservers/a
ppserv/doc/v40/ae/infocenter/was/06062000.html" says that
Transaction Inactivity Timeout : The number of milliseconds a
transaction can remain inactive before it is aborted.

But console shows this value is in terms of seconds .

Correct value is in seconds as shown in console.

This Doc APAR is being opened to address this change in
infocenter .

There is a defect  95872 which addresses this value.

Correct sentence should be "Transaction Inactivity Timeout : The
number of seconds a transaction can remain inactive before it is
aborted." .
Local fix
WorkAround is Console is correct i.e value should be in seconds.
