After a certain period of inactivity, the Patient EDM automatically logs off and returns you to the Login page when you try to perform an activity on the Patient EDM. Simply reenter your user name and password to access the Patient EDM again. The system administrator can set the inactivity period at the server level in the session-timeout element of default-web.xml (in logicalhost_home\is\domains\domain_name\config) or at the application level in web.xml in the Sun Master Patient Index application .war file (located in the deployment .ear file) or in the deployment folder itself. The application level overrides any values set at the server level. The default inactivity period is 30 minutes.
