Session expire after 20 minutes

[Former Member]

User sessions  should expire after a maximum of 20 minutes of inactivity by a user.

Please let me know how can we do it

Hi Anutosh,

The web session value for InfoView, CMC is by default 20 mins.

So, if you want to modify that then you can edit the web.xml file for that application say InfoView under Tomcat.

Open web.xml under <BO Installdir>\Business Objects\Tomcat55\webapps\InfoViewApp\WEB-INF.

Modify session.timeout value and save the file. Restart Tomcat.

For more information on Session Management, refer the following links:

Hope this helps.

Hi Anutosh

If you mean a CMS session created by the BI Launchpad or CMC web application, then the default is 20 minutes and is configurable (refer to the kbase article)

Apprecite your quick response..Not CMC session...

Suppose some one viewing webi reports or deski so session should be expire every 20 minutes.

We are using SAP BO XI 3.1 SP6

For XI 3.1, the web applications are split into multiple WAR files (with seperate session timeouts).  Webi uses the AnalyticalReporting web application.  Check this kbase:
