How to Set the Session Timeout

You can specify that if a user of an application developed with Application Development is inactive for a certain period of time, the user’s session will time out and automatically log the user out. The default session timeout is 30 minutes.

Note that if the session times out, the user is not informed of the timeout. If the timeout occurs when a form is displayed, and the user performs an action such as clicking Submit or Cancel, the form is closed and the user is returned to the login screen. If data had been entered on the form during the session, it is lost.

Procedure

  1. Open the following file using a text editor:

    CONFIG_HOME\bpm\bpm_app_name\configuration\OSProperties.properties

    where:

    • CONFIG_HOME is where ActiveMatrix BPM configuration information is stored. On Windows, this defaults to:

      C:\ProgramData\amx-bpm\tibco\data

    • bpm_app_name is the BPM application name specified when ActiveMatrix BPM was installed. The default is:

      amx.bpm.app

  2. Change the value of the sessionTimeout property to the desired the number of seconds for the timeout.
  3. Save and close the OSProperties.properties file.
