BusinessObjects Enterprise – Changing Tomcat Session Timeout

| Posted by watashii | Filed under BusinessObjects, Software, Web

To change the timeout limit of a BusinessObjects Enterprise XIR2 (Solaris) logged-in session (with Tomcat), the following files needs to be modified:

$BOBJE_HOME/tomcat/webapps/businessobjects/WEB-INF/web.xml
$BOBJE_HOME/tomcat/webapps/businessobjects/enterprise115/desktoplaunch/WEB-INF/web.xml
$BOBJE_HOME/tomcat/webapps/businessobjects/enterprise115/adminlaunch/WEB-INF/web.xml
$BOBJE_HOME/tomcat/webapps/businessobjects/enterprise115/adhoc/WEB-INF/web.xml

Find the following setting within the web.xml file to change the timeout value in minutes.

<!-- Define the default session timeout for your application,
      in minutes.  From a servlet or JSP page, you can modify
      the timeout for a particular session dynamically by using
      HttpSession.getMaxInactiveInterval(). -->
<session-config>
      <session-timeout>20</session-timeout> <!-- 20 minutes for session objects -->
</session-config>

Then just restart the Apache Tomcat webserver to take effect.

    Will this work on BOE XIR2 running on Windows? I’ve tried this one but it seems that it doesn’t take effect after restarting Tomcat.

    I haven’t tried this on a Windows installation however search for all the web.xml files and have the timeout updated.
