Through SAP GUI go to SMICM -> Services and change HTTP and HTTPS values of Keep Alive and Max Processing Time to the desired values.

Change the time for session timeout by the following steps:

1. Open the visual admin tool.

2. Navigate to Server -> Services -> Web Container -> Properties.

3. Extend the value of the property 'SessionTimeout'.

HI detlev

I had gone through ur answers. I follow that also.Thanks for it . But what i have doubt is , if i m not use my session for some time , leave ideal for some time .Then it should log off the session or session should be expiry . If change the logout time for login tickets in the Um configuartion/security edit tab , it force the session to logout even if it is active .

So can u please suggest me , What should be done for this .

Your answers must be appreciated.

Thanks

Hi shashank,

as described in the threads given, within EP the situation is somewhat complicated. The "logon" does not depend on the session, but on the ticket. Even if the http session got invalidated, if the ticket is still valid, a new http session will be created, and no new logon is needed. On the other hand, even if the http session is still valid but the ticket is not, a new logon is needed.

So in fact, normally the ticket shouldn't be valid for a too short time period. On the other hand, the http session invalidation must be checked at application level.

Hope it helps

HI detlev

Thanks for ur response . I had tried like what u said.The problem is :

1 >> I had given ticket time = 8 hrs

and session timeout = 01 min. in the web.xml file of our application. When I checked the session after 1 minutes ,session is not expirying and the session is continued.

2>> I had given the ticket time and the session timeout equals i.e. 01 minutes .When I checked the session after 01 Minutes ,the session is expired.

Can u please tell me,is it the correct output it shoould give .

Thanks

Hi shashank,

setting the session timeout happens within the web.xml under /WEB-INF of the portalapp (that is "irj"). See http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/bd/6ca740aa053a13e10000000a155106/content.htm for a general comment on this.
