Setting the Time to Cancel an Unattended Oracle Business Intelligence Request

You can override the time to elapse, in minutes, before an unattended request is cancelled by modifying the Oracle BI Presentation Services configuration file (instanceconfig.xml) to add the following entry. An unattended request is one that has not been accessed in the number of minutes specified by this setting. The internal default is 5. The minimum value is 2.

This entry handles the case where a user is at the Request screen in Answers and browses elsewhere, abandoning the request, at least temporarily. Do not set the value too small, however, as the user may return to the request.

The following entry is an example:

<UnaccessedRunningTimeoutMinutes>5</UnaccessedRunningTimeoutMinutes>
