Inactivity Timeout Versus Fixed Duration

With my PowerBook G4 on dial-up I have the connect timeout set to 15 minutes. I find it annoying that this is a fixed timeout. On my RISC OS machine I have it set to timeout the connection after 3 minutes of inactivity. Which means if the machine's busy it can be left to get on with it. I don't have to be in attendance.
Am I missing something? Is there a similar function for OSX?

System Preferences -> Network
Select the modem, then the TCP/IP tab. At the bottom
is a PPP Options button which has options for
inactivity timers.
Thanks. None so blind...
Do you know if that option will give a warning and an option to stay connected? At least I guess I can suck it & see.

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.

Fixed duration tasks and time budget

I am fighting with MS Project 2013 and cant figure out how to do this task:
I am creating a schedule for a project. It is to be used as an estimate for planning purposes.
What I want to do is list a number of Fixed Duration tasks and assign the task a budget in hours (For example the task may span 2 weeks duration but the amount of budgeted work days may only be 4 days the work can be done anytime during the 2 week period).
I am guessing I can choose one of the 'built in' columns to capture the work budget for the task, but which one????
Then I want to assign some people with a percentage of their time/week to each task. (I know how to do this...)
Finally I want to add a column that will display, for each task, if the people I have assigned (with their respective % work) will be less than, equal to, or greater than the budgeted hours for that task. I don't know how to do this...any pointers???
Any help is really appreciated.
thanks

J --
On a Fixed Duration task, when you change the Duration, Microsoft Project ALWAYS recalculates the Work. This is the default behavior of the software, and you cannot change this behavior.
Oh, I thought it could be changed.....oh well....
My intention with the Work Difference column is: Given I have a task that is planned to span a number of weeks and the actual amount of work hrs is specified and less than the number of days in the task duration, I want to be able to show in the work difference
column the difference between the estimated work days for the task compared to the number and allocated percentage of time of resources assigned to that task.
For example: task duration is 2 weeks. actual work is 4 days. Two ppl are assigned to the task, each at 20% of their time. So, 2 ppl *(40 hrs*0.2) = 16 hrs of work, would be less than the actual work of 4days*8hr/day = 32 hrs.
In the duration column I'd see 4 days and looking at the work difference column I'd see 2.0 days, and I would know that I need to increases resources or add more time availability to the existing resources.
Why is this useful to me? In my world, (for project estimating purposes), people are assigned multiple projects so they split their time accordingly. When we are estimating another project, and consider resources for that project, we generally
get a percentage of their time. Often the smaller sub-tasks can be worked in parallel so people can work efficiently. If person X can only spend 20% of their time on a task, and the task requires more work, then we can bring another person on the
task to make up the difference for the budgeted work. I can look down the Work Difference column and immediately tell if we have enough effort on the project to accomplish the tasks and the entire project.
Thanks for your help!

Fixed Duration Tasks work hours not updating properly

I have a task of 2 days duration which is fixed duration; with 1 resource assigned when it is 30%, I add 2 more resources to it as even though duration is same work hours need to be increased. But I don't see any impact on work even when 2 resources
are added. M I missing something

Just check if the check box - Effort Driven is checked for that task, as in this case whatever are the hours in Work field that gets equally distributed between all resouces (in your case the newly added and existing resource). Uncheck that box
and then assign resources; this should fix your calculations for the expected hrs. adding to Work field.

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:

Incorrect Fixed duration in SNP PDS

Hi,
We are maintaining the capacity for “SNP Bucket Capacity” with number of periods as 7 days for resources in SAP APO.
However when we CIF the PDS the fixed duration for the activity is getting populated as 1 Day instead of 7 Days.
I have attached the document with setting for reference, request you to provide your input to resolve the issue.
Thanks,

Hi,
Work center formula and durations maintained in the routing for the standard value keys decide this.
Please check and revert.

SAP inactivity timeout

Is there a way to set the SAP gui inactivity timeout for a specific user or group of users?

Hi Chris,

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).

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.)

Configuring SI Read to read for fixed duration?

Hi,
Is there a way to configure Sound Input Read so that it reads data from the soundcard for a fixed duration of time? For example, if I want to record for only 17 milliseconds once a trigger from another VI is given, how should I go about it?
Thanks.

Hey Keshav,
You could try creating a case structure with a trigger activating the true command and therefore on a true output of a trigger you'll start acquiring.
For a better understanding of triggering, refer to Basic Level Triggering of Waveforms. This leads you to an example VI called Basic Level Triggering of Waveforms. The example shows how you can trigger a generated waveform in LabVIEW and the data output from the trigger.
Hopefully this helps!!

Classic examples of a fixed duration activity

Hello all. Please can anyone give me some classic examples of project activities involving a fixed duration such that increasing the resources, be it labor or machinery, would have no effect on the project activity?

Fixed Duration & effort driven task (strange outcome with Units

Hi,
Sorry, but I misformulated my problem.
This makes it a bit more clear I hope:
While in a chapter about effort-driven Microsoft says the following:
If the assigned task type is Fixed Duration, assigning additional resources decreases the individual unit values for resources.
Why aren't the units set to 50% after I assigned Peter as 2nd resource?
TIA
L

Hi Guillaume,
Thank you very much for your reply!!!!
I have been chasing my tail about it.
I would have to agree with one of the comments regarding that article: (some parts of it below)
It might have been nice then if Microsoft had carried the Peak field into the Task Details form, as well as others since from these views only display the Assignment Units is not available in the Task Details view, it just looks like the product is broken.
Fixed duration 5 day task, 20 hours on each resouce (2 total), shows 100% Assignment units, just doesn't seem very intuitive.
At least now I can let it go (sort of)
The Peak fiels is my saviour I guess but:
I would still would like to understand the logic in when you add 4 resources one by one on a 10 day task the Units go like this:
1st =100%
2nd = 100%
3nd = 50%
4th=33 %
Thanks again!

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.
