Setting the Time to Expire for Siebel Analytics Web Client Sessions

The entry ClientSessionExpireMinutes defines the length of idle time that can elapse before the Siebel Analytics Web Server removes the user's client (browser) session information from its memory. This session includes user-specific state information such as request cache, dashboard page state, subject area information, connection information, and so on.

The internal default is 1440 (24 hours).

For example, if the user does not access Siebel Analytics Web in 24 hours or more, the server's information about that session is removed completely, in which case the user will be logged out of the application and will need to log back in. All state information is lost.

You can override the number of minutes to elapse before browser client sessions are removed by modifying the Siebel Analytics Web configuration file instanceconfig.xml to add the following entry. The value must be greater than or equal to the value specified for the setting SearchIDExpireMinutes, described in Setting the Time to Keep an Unsaved Siebel Analytics Request.

The following entry is an example:

<ClientSessionExpireMinutes>1440</ClientSessionExpireMinutes>
