Inactive timeout Configuration

Hi All,
The current application is in Oracle 10g forms .
At any point of time,user might be in different screen , there are 350 forms are in there in the application.
if particular user is inactive for more than 3 mins , i need to kill this session or lock the screen.
Any give me the pointer, how to implement this functionality in Oracle 10g.
Thanks in Advance

Inactivity timeouts in Legato

We are trying to run incremental backups
of 400 GB database (using RMAN/Legato)
and they complete with error. I traced to problem to the following message that appears in /nsr/logs/messages
<Date> <NetWorker Server> NetWorker media: (notice) Save set (nnnnn) <NetWorker Client>
<Save Set Name> volume ##### on \\.\Tape1 is
being terminated because: inactivity timeout.
NetWorker Help gives following definition of
inactivity timeouts:
"The number of minutes of inactivity before the group of saves concludes that a client is (presumably) permanently hung. A value of zero indicates that no inactivity checking is done."
As we are running incremental backups and only a small percentage of the database is updated between backups some inactivity periods are expected, although I thought
RMAN still backs up at least one block per datafile.
The value was set to 30 min. I tried to increase it to 1000 (maximum available value)
and to disable inactivity checks by setting it to 0. It did not help. Finally, I resorted to creating a small dummy table in each tablespace of the database (almost all tablespaces have only one datafile). It looks like this approach worked - the backup completed OK for the first time in many days.
I realize that this is Legato problem, but because so many people use RMAN with Legato and do incremental backups, I felt it is appropriate to post here.
Questions:
1. Have anyone had a similar experience?
2. Does Oracle backup at least one block per datafile in incremental backups?

We also hit an Inactivity Timeout in conjunction with RMAN and Legato BSM for Oracle Unix:
Although we're using Oracle 8 Standard which does not support incremental backups.
It seems to us, that the inactivity detection mechanism somehow does not work with the RMAN backups, because any backup ("backup database" or "backup archivelog all") was cought by an inactivity timeout, if the duration exceeded the number of minutes configured in the inactivity timeout. (Even happened during backing up of archived logs for more than 30 minutes, with inactivity timeout set to 30)
In our case the stream of data should not be idle for more than a very few minutes, cause we're not doing incremental backups.
Would be interested to hear what the Legato people say about this, also why setting IT to zero did not turn it off.

ACE Inactivity Timeout

I am looking to change the inactivity timeout using a parameter map. Was planning to apply policy-map for this globally and was wondering if I would affect existing connections or does it only apply to new connections??
-Lloyd

Hi Andrew,
By default, the inactivity timeout value is 5 minutes. You can modify the length
of time that can occur before the ACE automatically logs off an inactive user by
using the login timeout command in configuration mode. This command
specifies the length of time that a user session can be idle before the ACE
terminates the console, Telnet, or SSH session.
Note The login timeout command setting overrides the terminal session-timeout
setting (see the âConfiguring Terminal Display Attributesâ section).
The syntax for the login timeout command is as follows:
login timeout minutes
The minutes argument specifies the length of time that a user can be idle before
the ACE terminates the session. Valid entries are from 0 to 60 minutes. A value
of 0 instructs the ACE never to timeout. The default is 5 minutes.
For example, to specify a timeout period of 10 minutes, enter the following
command:
host1/Admin(config)# login timeout 10
To restore the default timeout value of 5 minutes, enter the following command.
host1/Admin(config)# no login timeout
To display the configured login time value, use the show login timeout command
in Exec mode. For example, enter the following command:
host1/Admin# show login timeout
Login Timeout 10 minutes.
Kindly refer the following url:

Discoverer Plus and the SSO GUIT (Global User Inactivity Timeout)

Does Discoverer Plus obey the Global User Inactivity Timeout?
We've enabled SSO for Discoverer Plus and Viewer (v. 9.0.4.45.02), and we've
configured the Global User Inactivity Timeout. For testing, we set GUIT to 5 minutes.
When we re-activate a Viewer session after more than 5 minutes of no activity,
we're prompted for our SSO username/password, as expected.
If we leave a Plus session inactive for more than 5 minutes, we are not prompted for our SSO username/password.
If we leave a Plus session inactive for 30 minutes, a pop-up appears warning us
that Plus will exit if we don't take some action. This pop-up is driven by the fact that we set Timeout to 30 minutes in the pref.txt file. Plus behaved this way before we enabled it for SSO.
We thought that Plus and Viewer are both governed by GUIT in the SSO environment. Are we wrong about that?

Yes, i am having the same problem with the Timeout. No matter what i have the timeout set to, the portal never redirects to the login, the users stay logged in indefinitely. We are running 10gAS (10.1.2). I have a feeling it has something to do with the cookie not being properly set. If ANYONE has any experience with this please reply. thanks so much

DPS 6.2, w2k3, fills logfile when disabling monitoring-inactivity-timeout

When disabling the setting "Poll Unused Connections to Keep them Active" using DSCC the value for
connectionInactivityTimeoutInSec / monitoring-inactivity-timeout will be set to -1 in the configuration file.
This causes the LDAP Proxy Server to continuously log the line:
BACKEND - WARN - Activity on connections for LDAP server x.x.x.x:389/ takes longer than configured.is there any option to disable the whole "poll" feature?
thanks
.andi

Hi andi,
I cannot reproduce this problem but if -1 value causes the problem, you can either manually remove the connectionInactivityTimeoutInSec:-1 line from the configuration file and restart the proxy or use dpconf set-ldap-data-source-prop monitoring-inactivity-timeout w/o specifying any value (this should remove the attr).

ASA 60 minute inactivity timeout - Poor choice?

Hello Friends!
We had an issue the other day where doing backups through the firewall (don't ask) caused the "control" session to timeout while the backups were still going on over the "data" connection. This broke the backup about two hours into the job. My first thought was that the backup solution vendor should implement some kind of tcp keepalive for the control connection. A packet capture showed they indeed were -- after 2 hours! Ah ha! Busted! How could they choose such a poor choice of TCP keepalive timer for their application that would not be compatible with the 60 minute inactivity timer that so many firewall vendors use (Cisco, Juniper, Checkpoint and Fortinet all use a default 60 minute inactivity timer for TCP)?
Well, a colleague of mine pointed out that there is actually an old RFC that covers this. RFC 1122. It says:
Keep-alive packets MUST only be sent when no data or acknowledgement packets have been received for the connection within an interval. This interval MUST be configurable and MUST default to no less than two hours.
Now I know that RFC is old (October 1989), but that's all I could find. Is there something that supercedes that? Maybe common sense perhaps? I understand not wanting to fill up your connection table because of mis-behaving applications, but I'm just looking for ammunition to use against the backup solution vendor. Surely they're going to point to this RFC.
Thanks!
ASA(config)# timeout conn ?configure mode commands/options: 0:0:0 | <0:5:0> - <1193:0:0> Idle time after which a TCP connection state will be closed, default is 1:00:00 <0-0> Specify this value to never time out

Hi,
Certain application behaviour sometimes forces our hand to reconfigure the "timeout" values for certain customer connections. Though this has been pretty rare in my own case atleast.
I would imagine that any kind of keepalive would be something that would be constantly transmitted on the connection that needs to stay up and it would certainly be something that the application handles itself.
I did a quick try on my home ASA to check if this could be corrected by the ASA wihtout globally affecting all connections through the ASA and it seems to work fine
Here is the configuration I did
Where
TIMEOUT = Is simply the name for each configuration (ACL, Class-Map and Policy-Map) that I chose
x.x.x.x = Is the destination IP address for which I want to create these rules for
LAN = Is my ASAs "inside" interface
access-list TIMEOUT extended permit ip host 10.0.1.1 host x.x.x.x
class-map TIMEOUT
match access-list TIMEOUT
policy-map TIMEOUT
class TIMEOUT
set connection timeout idle 3:00:00
service-policy TIMEOUT interface LAN
Output of "show conn long" with 2 connections through the ASA. Other going with default "timeout" values and other matching the configured "timeout" values.
TCP WAN:x.x.x.x/80 (x.x.x.x/80) LAN:10.0.1.1/59074 (y.y.y.y/59074), flags UO, idle 15s, uptime 17s, timeout 3h0m, bytes 2
TCP WAN:a.a.a.a/80 (a.a.a.a/80) LAN:10.0.0.21/57482 (y.y.y.y/57482), flags UIO, idle 13s, uptime 14s, timeout 1h0m, bytes 598
Where
x.x.x.x = Is the destination IP for the connection for which you want to configure its own "timeout" values
y.y.y.y = Is my ASA public IP
a.a.a.a = Is the connection destination IP address for which the global "timeout" values are applied
Theres is also an option called "dcd" in the same "set connection timeout" configuration
Here is the Command Reference section for "set connection timeout"
set connection timeout To specify connection timeouts within a policy map for a traffic class, use the set connection timeout command in class configuration mode. To remove the timeout, use the no form of this command. set connection timeout {[embryonic hh:mm:ss] [idle hh:mm:ss [reset]] [half-closed hh:mm:ss] [dcd [retry_interval [max_retries]]]} no set connection timeout {[embryonic hh:mm:ss] [idle hh:mm:ss [reset]] [half-closed hh:mm:ss] [dcd [retry_interval [max_retries]]]} Syntax Description
dcd
Enables dead connection detection (DCD). DCD detects a dead connection and allows it to expire, without expiring connections that can still handle traffic. You configure DCD when you want idle, but valid connections to persist. After a TCP connection times out, the ASA sends DCD probes to the end hosts to determine the validity of the connection. If one of the end hosts fails to respond after the maximum retries are exhausted, the ASA frees the connection. If both end hosts respond that the connection is valid, the ASA updates the activity timeout to the current time and reschedules the idle timeout accordingly.
embryonic hh:mm:ss
Sets the timeout period until a TCP embryonic (half-open) connection is closed, between 0:0:5 and 1193:0:0. You can also set the value to 0, which means the connection never times out. A TCP connection for which a three-way handshake is not complete is an embryonic connection.
half-closed hh:mm:ss
Sets the idle timeout period until a half-closed connection is closed, between 0:5:0 and 1193:0:0. You can also set the value to 0, which means the connection never times out. Half-closed connections are not affected by DCD. Also, the ASA does not send a reset when taking down half-closed connections.
idle hh:mm:ss
Sets the idle timeout period after which an established connection of any protocol closes. The valid range is from 0:0:1 to 1193:0:0.
max_retries
Sets the number of consecutive failed retries for DCD before declaring the connection as dead. The minimum value is 1 and the maximum value is 255.
reset
For TCP traffic only, sends a TCP RST packet to both end systems after idle connections are removed.
retry_interval
Time duration in hh:mm:ss format to wait after each unresponsive DCD probe before sending another probe, between 0:0:1 and 24:0:0.
Defaults The default embryonic timeout is 30 seconds. The default half-closed idle timeout is 10 minutes. The default dcd max_retries value is 5. The default dcd retry_interval value is 15 seconds. The default tcp idle timeout is 1 hour. The default udp idle timeout is 2 minutes. The default icmp idle timeout is 2 seconds. The default esp and ha idle timeout is 30 seconds. For all other protocols, the default idle timeout is 2 minutes. To never time out, enter 0:0:0.

I can't really say anything else to this other than it seems stupid to me to not have a mechanism to keep the Control connection active with frequent (enough) messages that will keep it active as long as there is data transfer on the actual Data connection. I dont know what kind of keepalive it is that polls at minimum on 2hour interval. Kind of beats the whole purpose of keepalive.
Though then again this is not a subject I could comment on any kind of certainty. Only comment on the way it seems to me.

SAP inactivity timeout

Hi Chris,
Note <a href="http://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/27320">27320</a> has descriptions about rdisp/keepalive and rdisp/gui_auto_logout, are you looking for something else in this case?

EAS Inactivity Timeout

Alright, so 1.1.0 gave us lots of great EAS security policy support including Inactivity Timeout:
Inactivity timeout. IT administrators can ensure that an inactive phone goes into a locked state after a certain time period. You cannot set a higher timeout interval for your phone, but you can set a shorter interval.
Okay, so where do we set this value on the phone? Right now every single time I slide my phone open or press the power key I have to enter my password to unlock the phone. My company's security has the inactivity timeout set to 8 hours on the exchange server. Any help would be great, we have high security passwords (lots of characters, numbers, special chars, etc) and I hate having to enter it just to repond to a text message or something trivial and not business related.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)

The user manual suggests it is linked to the screen timeout, which for reasons of battery life, usually would be way less than 8 hours.
The screen locks five seconds after it turns off automatically, or immediately if you turn the screen off manually. Use Secure Unlock if you want to require a PIN or a password to unlock the screen.
Don't know whether there is a way to decouple these time intervals.
(Also, I was looking at the original user guide, which may not match the updated OS.)

OracleConnectionCacheImpl inactivity timeout bug?

Hi,
We are trying to use the OracleConnectionCacheImpl class with the thin driver to an Oracle 9i (rel 2) DB. However the settings we use for the inactivity timeout (calling setCacheInactivityTimeout(timeoutSeconds)) appears to bear no resemblance to reality.
Has anyone had experience with the timeout? Is there a bug? A workaround? Alternative implementations?
I am considering going to the Apache DBCP implementation if this turns out to be a bug.
Thanks,
Peter Miller

Did the inactivity timeout setting of "1" time out the connection after one second? It was more like 6 minutes for us, but seems to be non-deterministic.

SAP Portal Inactivity Timeout

Hi -
I would like to request your help regarding the following topic:
I'm trying to find the inactivity timeout parameter for SAP Portal. We will like to update this parameter to 15min, which means that after 15min of inactivity the system will request the user sign in again. Thank you for your help or any material you guys understand will be helpful.

Inactivity timeout for TestStand user credentials

Hello all,
I'm curious if anyone has done any work on inactivity timeouts for TestStand user credentials; I am looking for some solution that will allow windows to lock, but if i have a test running and I walk away, my credentials will lock after the test has finished. Anyone have any ideas on where I can start some research into this?
-Bill
John 3:16

Hi Bill,
In order to programmatically log out of TestStand, you first have to programmatically shut down the TestStand Engine. To execute the FrontEnd Callback to log out of TestStand, you will have to create a Property Object to pass to the LoginLogout Callback.
Locals.PropObj = RunState.Engine.NewPropertyObject(PropValType_Container,False,"",0),
Locals.PropObj.AsPropertyObject.SetValBoolean ("logoutOnly", PropOption_InsertIfMissing, True),
Locals.PropObj.AsPropertyObject.SetValBoolean ("isInitialLogin", PropOption_InsertIfMissing, False),
RunState.Engine.CallFrontEndCallbackEx("LoginLogout",Locals.PropObj.AsPropertyObject,ConflictHandler_Prompt,0)
You will also have to develop a code module to poll for UI messages after calling the first Shutdown sequence.
Are you intending to run a test, walk away, and come back hours later to a completed test and TestStand idle? Or are you wanting to abort an abandoned test and reset to the initial login screen? This is going to be a fairly complex implementation, so I'm trying to make sure of your intentions.

Inactivity Timeout

Hello all,
I have a web site runnin on FC5 with Tomcat.
Everything was working fine until now.
From one <form> I call a servlet and get the following error message:
Inactivity Timeout
Description: Too much time has passed without sending any data for document http://www.MyDomainName.net/WEB/PostIt.
what is wrong?
Thank you.

Hi,
thanks for getting back.
Before posting any code I am trying to find out if the problem in the code itself or not.
I have html page with <form> tag. This form calls a servlet which connects to a database and sends out an email.
when I click a button (call the servlet) it hangs for some time and then I get the following error message:

Does ACE send a RST packet when it reach inactivity timeout?

Hi experts
I have some questions about ace's behavier.
1st one is, Does ACE send a RST packet when it reach to inactivity timeout?
2nd, Does half-closed timeout works properly with "no normalization"?
3rd, How does ACE treat the packets there is no flows in conn table? Drop or forwarding?
Thanks

Hi Kilsoo,
1st one is, Does ACE send a RST packet when it reach to inactivity timeout?
----yes, the ACE is going to send a RST if the client or server tries to do something over a connection that was already timed out
3rd, How does ACE treat the packets there is no flows in conn table? Drop or forwarding?
drops the connection
Let me do some research for your second question
