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.
