Setting the Timeout Period for Administration Services Sessions

If you are using the default application server, your connection to Administration Services is terminated if, during a 24-hour period, no activity occurs between Essbase Administration Server and Administration Services Console. You can reconnect and save your work, or you can exit without reconnecting.

You can change the default timeout period.

  To change the default timeout period for Administration Services sessions:

  1. Unzip the EPM_ORACLE_HOME\products\Essbase\eas\server\AppServer\InstallableApps\Common\eas.ear file.

  2. Within this file structure, unzip the eas.war file.

  3. Within this file structure, open the web.xml file.

  4. Locate the Servlet Session Configuration section.

    The default value for session-timeout is 1440 minutes (24 hours).

  5. Change the session-timeout value, in minutes.

  6. Save and close the file.

  7. Rezip the eas.war file.

  8. Rezip the eas.ear file.

    Subsequent Administration Services sessions that exceed the number of minutes that you set are terminated.
