Setting Proper Resource Limits

This section specifies how to set resource limits. The views described in the subsections below - WorkbookTemplate Limits, Max Domain Session Limit, Max User Session Limit and Dimension Modification Rights are the views present in the security administration workbook. See the Security Administration Workbook section in Oracle Retail Predictive Application Server Cloud Edition Administration Guide for more information.

WorkbookTemplate Limits Views

The Workbook Template Limit views are used to limit the number of workbooks that the user can have saved. Limits can be set for a user per template, for a user group per template, or for a template for all users. The limits are evaluated in the above order, which means a limit defined in a user-template overrides any values defined at group-template or template. If the above limits are not defined, the default value is one billion, but it is not displayed in the workbook.

The limits are checked when the user begins the workbook build process. If the limit has been reached, an error message appears that informs the user that the workbook build process cannot completed because the limit has been reached. The wizard process then terminates.

Max Domain Session Limit View

The Max Domain Session Limit view is used to limit the number of user sessions that can be attached to a single application by all users of that application. The limit is set at the application level. This limit is checked during user login. If the limit has been reached, an error message appears to inform the user that the login has failed because this limit has been reached.

Max User Session Limit View

The Max User Session Limit view is used to limit the number of concurrent user sessions that can be attached to a single application by the same user at the same time. The limit is set per user so that the administrator can control the maximum number of concurrent sessions that are allowed for an individual user.

This limit is checked during user login. If the limit has been reached, an error message appears to inform the user that the login has failed because this limit has been reached.

Dimension Modification Rights View

The Dimension Modification Rights view allows the administrator to determine which user-defined dimensions, if any, a user can modify. Its purpose is to provide a filtered list of user-defined dimensions to be shown on the dimension selection wizard page of the Hierarchy Maintenance template. The view contains a check box for each available user and dimension combination. A check mark in the cell indicates that the user is permitted to modify the specified dimension.
