Modifying the Studio session timeout value

The timeout notification that appears in the header of Studio can be controlled by the session.timeout property in portal-ext.properties.

By default, the portal-ext.properties file does not have the session.timeout property. Instead, the default timeout value is set in the web.xml file (which is in endeca-portal.war), on the WebLogic Server that is running Studio. The session.timeout property, when added to portal-ext.properties, will override the web.xml setting.

To modify the Studio session timeout value:

  1. Stop Studio.
    For example, you can run the stop command of bdd-admin:
    ./bdd-admin stop -c bddServer
  2. On the server running WebLogic, open $DOMAIN_HOME/config/studio/portal-ext.properties and add the following property (or modify it if it has already been added):
    session.timeout=30
    Note that the session-timeout parameter takes an integer value in minutes.
  3. Restart Studio.
    For example, you can run the start command of bdd-admin:
    ./bdd-admin start -c bddServer
