Opendoc with serialized session will log off the session

[Former Member]

I'm generating opendoc links for Lumira Server for BIP which contain the user's serialized session. After opening the link in a new tab, viewing the Story for a few seconds, then closing the tab, the original session is no longer valid. Since my application doesn't contain logoff code, I'm assuming Lumira is ending the session.

The originator app and launchpad are on different domains, if that makes any difference.

Is this expected (even though it seems contrary to the opendoc documentation)? If so, is there some parameter that will stop Lumira from doing this?

This happens with Lumira 1.31 and SAP BusinessObjects BI Platform 4.2 Support Pack 2.

sounds like its properly working - what behavior are you expecting ?

I'd expect Lumira to not log off the serialized session, since the session was not created by the Lumira application. The OpenDoc guide also doesn't say that a serialized session will be logged off; but it does say this in reference to logon tokens:

Since the newly created logon token consumes an additional session, sess.logoff is called to logoff the original session

Hi Charles

Only way I can think of is to follow the instructions in the following KBA:

1837122 - Increase session timeout value for BI Launchpad and CMC deployed on Tomcat - HOWTO

Now, do realize that this is a "global" setting - meaning that what ever you set here, will apply to all of BIP. E.g.; say you set the time out to 24  hours. The user then starts a session, closes his browser. Later starts another session, then closes the browser, etc., etc. All the sessions will be active for the 24 hours. So, caution on how long a session you set.

There is no setting specific to Lumira OpenDoc, much as there is not one for CR or WEB (I believe).

Hi Ludek,

Thanks for the suggestion.  I'm not sure that will work in my case because 1) I don't think I'll have permission to make the change, and 2) the session is ending in less than a few minutes, so i don't think it's timing out.

For the time being, I'm using logon tokens for opendoc as a workaround, but it will raise the session count so it's not ideal.

Do you think this could be a defect with Lumira?

Hi Charles

I don't think it's a Lumira bug as I cannot repro it here. The only way an open doc will log off is if there is something telling it to do so. I wonder if you could try this in the same app with say, CR for Enterprise OpenDoc?
