Diffrence inactive,idle sessions

hi
what is the diffrence between inactive and idle sessıons.

desc v$version;
STATUS VARCHAR2 (8) --> Status of session:
If Active, session currently executing SQL commands
if Inactive, session not executing SQL commands.
other possibilities are killed,cached and sniped.
i think idle session is inactive session according to v$version
if you want to disconnect them :
alter system set resource_limit=TRUE scope=both;
alter profile default limit idle_time 15; --> 15 subject to change.

Idle session

hello, what is the different between idle session and active session in oracle?
is idle session is treated as an 1 user who is currently connected? or user who is not connected to the db.
because on my session monitor, there's a lot of idle

HI,
idle session
User connected to database but doing nothing then there session is called idle session.
You can limit the idle time for a session. If the time between Oracle calls for a session reaches the idle time limit, then the current transaction is rolled back, the session is aborted, and the resources of the session are returned to the system. The next call receives an error that indicates the user is no longer connected to the instance. This limit is set as a number of elapsed minutes.
active session
user connected to database and doing there session is active.
active and inactive session
A session is ACTIVE when it is making a SQL call to Oracle Database. A session is INACTIVE if it is not making a SQL call to the database.

Getting Because of inactivity your session is no longer active error

Hi All,
I am getting error - "Because of inactivity you session is no longer active. Click Ok to reload the page" even if the session is active in my webcenter spaces application. This is happening when I am clicking on the navigation links multiple times. On navigation links I am opening external application as a popup. I have configured external applications in my webcenter spaces application and I have not set shared credentials or public credentials, so user has to provide the username and password. I have observed some of the patterns when it is occuring :
1. If I have not set the username and password in Accounts -> Preference for external application and if I press cancel on the login form of external application multiple times (3-4 times)
2. Sometimes it is happening even if I open the external links in the different window also
I searched and found that there is a CLIENT_STATE_MAX_TOKENS parameter to save the client state for back button behaviour and if the request for any token comes to restore the state on pressing back button and that token is not present then it throws the above error. In webcenter this token is set by default to 3. I tried increasing this but it didn't help. In my case even I am not pressing back button then why it's coming ?
I have observed one more thing that on pressing cancel button on adf external app login page closes the popup and page navigates back to the login page.
I have a clustered environment. Is this problem related to clustering ?
Thanks,
Sachin

Hi Sachin,
We faced same issue in Spaces in two nodes cluster. Are Spaces and UCM on same box? If yes, then the reason of the issue is "JSESSIONID cookies name from Spaces and UCM clash with each other". Change the cookie name in Spaces from the weblogic.xml file.

I login to the server at:

and navigate to:
Farm_bifoundation_domain
And I keep getting logged out, and the message:
Weblogic/OBIEE:
Because of inactivity, your session has timed out and is no longer active. Click OK to reload the page.
What's aggravating, is that I can login, and immediately get the message!
It is just me on this machine/environment.
How can I configure the server so that:
a: this does not happen at all, or
b: the timeout happens only after 2 or 3 hours
Thanks a lot!

look for "emoms.properties" file
For my env :
/home/oracle/product/11g/user_projects/domains/base_domain/servers/AdminServer/tmp/_WL_user/em/hsz5x1/META-INF/emoms.properties
oracle.sysman.eml.maxInactiveTime=< value >
the VALUE is in MINUTES
Restart Admin & SOA server.

Idle Session in Crystal Report

We have an environment where Crystal Report is talking to Universe. Report is published using BO XI3 Publisher. Issue is when Crystal Report is running for a report let us say for 10 minutes then for each query it executes; one session is opened and data is fetched, but the session is kept idle session even though query has completed fetching data.
If the report is run for 10 minutes till the report execution is completed those many idle sessions it creates and is removed only when the report completes execution.
Is there anyway we can close those sessions which is complete fetching data from database, instead of waiting complete report execution.

Hello,
So repost to the Businessobject forum. This one is for Crystal reports only and no one in this forum will help you.
10 minutes is the default timeout for some of the BOE servers, you can change this setting in the CMC servers area.
Thank you

Idle session and active session

how can I clear/remove the session user in oracle 10g express, via asp.net (1.1), is it possible?
is idle session can affect the number of concurrent users? or only active session...

coz right we're having a problem. first of all, i would like to say that I'm a oracle novice.
this is the scenario, we have 1 server (p4 2.2ghz w/ 2gig of memory), oracle 10g express install and our application front end (asp.net 1.1 is also install). while running of application and reached 5 or more that users have connected tru asp.net, the connection to the oracle is refuse.
can you help me regarding our problem.
thanks in advance

Oracle Forms and Report Services kill idle sessions

In our Oracle Forms and Report Server many user open session and stay idle, i want to drop such sessions after 10 minutes to free resources.
Please help how to proceed

Default settings for forms session timeout is 15 Minutes. But heartbeat parameter (default 2 minutes) doesn't allow AS to close idle sessions. So define heartbeat=20 in your formsweb.cfg file.
As far as reports are concerned set engineResponseTimeout="15" in your report server configuration file. This setting will not allow any report to remain in the queue for more than 15 minutes.

Having too many idle sessions?

Hi,
We have too many idle sessions at the database end? How can it be controlled apart from using database resource manager? Since some users execute long operations? Please clarify.
Thank you,
Adith

Having 5 of 60 sessions active is entirely reasonable. A session is ACTIVE only if, in that particular instant, the session is actively running a SQL statement. The vast majority of the time, a database connection will be idle as it waits for a user to decide what to do next, for the client application to process the data that was returned, etc.
If you're not encountering any problems, I wouldn't change anything. Setting IDLE_TIME in a profile will kill connections after a period of time, but that may cause problems for users & applications which are not designed to expect that their database connection can be terminated while they were using it.

Idle Session Time

Hi guys,
I'm having trouble with the idle session time on my pc
Im sharing a folder over a network and have windows 7 ultimate installed --- which allows up to 20 connections
I want the PC to auto logoff users if they are idle for over 1minute
I've set the time limit on this to be 1minute through cmd prompt and through "net config server" i can see its set correct
maximum logged on users 20
maximum open files per session
16384
idle session time (min) 1
However i can see that users connected to the share do not get disconnected at all ---- i have users with many hours of idle time still connected
any help at all with this would be much appreciated,
thanks a million,
Ger.

Hi,
Sorry for my mistake. I miss type the sepcific entry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\lanmanserver\parameters
In the right pane, click the autodisconnect, modify its value as what you want.
To change the time-out duration in the client-side during a UNC connection, specify the arbitrary time in KeepConn.

Can you get something for nothing?
Idle session does consume "some" resources.
Does any consumed resource impact performance?
By which metric at what value is considered any kind of performance issue?

Oracle idle sessions & SQL responsible

Hi Gurus,
I am using the following SQL to identify the idle sessions:
select status "st", sid "sid", username "user", program "prg"
from v$session
where username is not null
and audsid <> userenv('SESSIONID')
order by status;
I need to identify the SQLs responsible or might be responsible to generate idle sessions. Is there any SQL to do that.
Thanks
Amitava.

Oracle idle sessions

Hi Gurus,
I need to learn more about Oracle idle sessions, why/how they are created and why some of the idle sessions does not terminate easily.
Is there any ways to determine which SQLs are responsible for idle sessions. Also SQL way to identify and destroy idle sessions.
Does this make sense.
Thanks
Amitava.

First, why do you believe that idle sessions are a problem?
A session is IDLE if it is not, at the instant you query the data dictionary, executing a SQL statement. Most sessions will be idle most of the time because most of the time your applications are waiting on humans to do something or spending time processing data in the application. Just because a session is idle now is no reason to believe that it won't be ACTIVE shortly.
A modern three-tier application will generally create a pool of connections to the database on each middle tier server. Generally, those pools will be sized for at least reasonably busy conditions. If you happen to look at the database when the application isn't particularly busy, you're likely to see a bunch of idle sessions. That's not a problem. While you could force the application server admins to decrease the size of their connection pools, that may negatively affect the performance of the applications and introduce extra load on the database server for no real benefit.
