Modifying the Studio session timeout value

The timeout notification that appears in the header of Studio is controlled by two settings: session.timeout in portal-ext.properties and the web.xml settings in the WebLogic Server running Studio.

The values for these settings should be the same. In other words, if you set the timeout to 30 minutes in portal-ext.properties, it should match in web.xml. By default, session.timeout=30 in portal-ext.properties.

To modify the Studio session timeout value :

  1. Stop Studio, by locating the Studio Java application in the WebLogic Server Admin console on the BDCS node, and stopping it.
  2. On the same WebLogic server, open $DOMAIN_HOME/config/studio/portal-ext.properties and modify the following settings: 
    session.timeout=30
  3. Restart Studio in the WebLogic Server Admin Console.
  4. On the same WebLogic Server, modify the Studio timeout in web.xml to match step 2.
    If you are not familiar with modifying this file, see the WebLogic Server Administration documentation.
