Hi All,

I am using SAP BO BI 4.1 SP 7.

How to kill idle session time in BI Launchpad more than 15 mins, without using scripting.

Please share your valuable inputs.

Thanks,

First of all why do you want to kill the sessions in short time? 15 minutes is too low.

Anyway, you check below link. But even in this script, you can set only 60 minutes increment,

There was reference in this blog by Joshua.

• Its a good idea and this would be a cleaner way.  Unfortunately, the SI_UPDATE_TS field can't be trusted in this way for this infoobject type.  From what I've seen, the SI_UPDATE_TS, SI_CREATION_TIME, SI_LAST_ACCESS and SI_LASTLOGONTIME properties do not get updated within the lifespan of a session object.  The original date-time value that is written when the user logs in doesn't change for any of these fields.  This was why I chose to go off of the SI_CREATION_TIME.

Its one time activity you have to place the Jar files in Tomcat Application location, once it was deployed restart the tomcat services and then use below link to kill old session of CMS

Link for Tomcat Application:- http://<Server Name>:<Port Number>/KillSession.jsp

Depend on the operating system you have to choose below method to automate your process:-

- Windows (Use Task Scheduler to kill old cms session)

- UNIX (Use SHELL Script to kill old CMS session)

- Third Party scheduler

Thanks,

Daya

have a look at this blog:

I am not sure if there is a setting at BO level without the help of scripting to check if the user is idle for 15 minutes.
