Timeout parameters

[Former Member]

We have a standanlone SAP Web Dispatcher in the DMZ where clients can call a service so this is a WAN issue for some external users.  We have been requested to increase two variables, "http/security_session_timeout" and "rdisp/plugin_auto_logout" to 3600.  I am concened how this will or could impact all connection's to the backend escpecialy during a heavy load or spikes.   Is there a way we can modifiy the service to override the ICM profile variables?

Both parameters are dynamically changeable so it should be possible to change them programmatically assuming required authorizations are in place. However, I think that if you change the values they will be effective only for the next session not the current one.

Hi,

as far as I understand your requirement you want to have different values of these parameters for subset of services. I don't think that this is possible in SAP.

Actually you can set a service specific timeout for the respective ICF node but I think it can't be bigger than rdisp/plugin_auto_logout.

Where can you do it?

See the attached screenshot. A fairly recent release is required for the setting to actually work, see SAP note 1677655 for details.

Thanks for this. It still does not allow you to set specific parameters for some services. This works only for rdisp/plugin_auto_logout. You can't do this for other parameters such as http/security_session_timeout.
