What is killing my Apex Session?

Hi,
as far as I understand it, the Session lasts 24 hours after the last submit? I can shut down the DB or the Apache and after I have them up again my session is still valid. I can also work on the next day with my session. But at least once a day suddenly my sessions are gone and I have to reconnect.
Can anyone explain this behaviour?
Thanks, Juergen

Also, there is nothing magic about 24 hours, feel free to modify that DBMS_JOB to increase or decrease this frequency as appropriate for your environment.
Remember that in most cases, the Apex session is tied back to a specific (browser-session) cookie, chances are that your client machine and/or browser is likely to be rebooted/restarted long before 24 hours so this issue is moot anyway.

  • What is an APEX session?  Where is it documented?

    Exactly what defines an Oracle APEX session? Is it documented somewhere? (I can't see blogs because they filter them out here.)
    I ask because I find global variables persisting when I've logged out of APEX and logged back in again. Connectivity is "hit and miss" here. So I often duplicate browers tabs (sessions?) which are timing out. I'm wondering if that's not leaving disconnected session(s) that I log back into. I noticed that the initialization process ("on new session") is not executing, so I presume when I log back in I'm not starting a new session.
    Thanks -- Howard

  • APEX 3.1 "Apex Session Timeout"

    Hi all,
    I have been trying to find out how I can set a session to timeout in APEX 3.1 i.e. 30 minutes. I have reviewed Shared Components etc and haven't been able to find anything to control this timeout value. I am aware of the procedure SET_SESSION_MAX_IDLE_SECONDS but i am unable to find it in any of the wwv_* packages. Is it available in 3.1? If not, how can i set this value? Also, can the timeout value be set per application rather than globally?
    Thanks!

    Thanks for that (again). So it looks like I have 3 options:
    1)     Incorporate a JS timeout script
    2)     Build an APEX session package (api_apex_session.pck) that would handle this
    3)     Install APEX 3.2 where all this is supported
    What about the web server or cookie management...is there anything that could be used there?

  • Trace Apex session from sqlplus

    Hi,
    Apex 4.2.4, Oracle 11.2.0.3, Apex Listener 2.0.5
    How to start Apex session trace from sqlplus command line? I know thread Trace with &p_trace=YES but this is not a solution because I want to start from sqlplus (PL/SQL code).
    Any help?
    Brg
    Damir

    Your question has changed.
    Your question now:  "How do I identify a session in the database that belongs to an APEX page?"
    Use the session tables to match your APEX connection to the information in the gv$session table.
    Yes - this is a "free" information in the database, but it is also secure.  You will need elevated privileges to do this.  Use with caution.
    You will not find a PLUG-IN that can do tracing if the base user can not do tracing.  The reason the URL feature is there from APEX is because APEX (the framework) has the access and ability - but that is not passed down to each workspace / schema without using the framework.
    I have no details of your installation or your application, so you will need to determine what types of calls are being made to the database and with what method (EPG, OHS, ORDS, etc..)
    select SID, SERIAL#,inst_id,program,module,event,Action,machine, client_info, CLIENT_IDENTIFIER
    from gv$session s where type!='BACKGROUND'
    and status='ACTIVE' and sql_id is not null;
    The CLIENT_IDENTIFIER will show you SESSION and USER
    The MODULE will show you APP and PAGE
    From there, you can do all your SID related tracing you need.

  • Killing Duplicate database session

    Hi
    We are running an Oracle 8i database. Remote users logon onto the database. The line drops and they lose connection. When the line is up again, they reconect successfully. However, there are now two sessions for this user. What can I do to identify the older session on the database for users and kill the older session.
    Thanks

    alter system kill session 'sid,serial#';
    alter system kill session '243,14563'; -- USE THIS
    -- find the session from V$session table and kill the session using SID and SERIAL
    -- check the logon_time to find the older sessions
    select sid,serial#,username,terminal,osuser,program,type,status,last_call_et,logon_time
    from V$session
    where type = 'USER'and username not like '%SYS%';
    Hope this will help.

  • Is Collection APEX session specific

    I think I know the answer to this but I want to be 100% sure. My application uses a collection that gets populated and is then the source SQL for the region. What happens if two users are running the applicaiton at the same time? Will I run into any problems, or is a colleciton local to each specific Apex session?
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    Yes, collection is application and session specific
    Regards,
    Jari
    Edited by: jarola on Oct 28, 2010 8:05 PM
    >
    Collections enable you to temporarily capture one or more nonscalar values. You can use collections to store rows and columns currently in session state so they can be accessed, manipulated, or processed during a user's specific session. You can think of a collection as a bucket in which you temporarily store and name rows of information.

    Any call made from the API will automatically be set to the “Session Timeout” period, no matter
    what. Calls made from EWA (Excel Web Access) will get the “Short Session Timeout” period assigned to it initially.

  • Killing Parallel Query Session

    Hi,
    I am running Oracle 11.2.0.1.0 on Solaris 5.10.
    Couple of hours ago, I ran a job through DBMS_JOB (Yes, I need to use dbms_schedular), and in the job I used parallel query. Now I want to remove the job. Also I want to clean up the sessions. I can remove the job by doing DBMS_JOB.remove(job id). Is there a way that I kill one parallel query coordinator session, and it would automatically kill all the slave sessions?

  • How to create an apex session in e.g. SQL*Plus?

    I would like to establish an apex session using a tool different from SQL Workshop.
    How can I achieve this using e.g. SQL*Plus or SQL Developer?
    Is there some document on the internet which addresses this question? I couldn't find it yet.

    First and foremost you need to set the Security Group ID (SGID)
    begin
    APEX_UTIL.SET_SECURITY_GROUP_ID(APEX_UTIL.FIND_SECURITY_GROUP_ID('MY_WORKSPACE'));  -- replace MY_WORKSPACE with yours
    end;
    then you might need to set an application_id for certain features to work:
    select application_id
        into apex_application.g_flow_id
        from apex_applications
       where application_name = 'my_app_name';  -- replace my_app_name with yours
    If you need to create a session id, you can get a fresh one with
    DECLARE
      VAL NUMBER;
    BEGIN
      VAL := APEX_CUSTOM_AUTH.GET_NEXT_SESSION_ID;
    END;

  • Want to get ApEx session in JSP

    Hi Pals,
    From my ApEx application, I am calling a JSP by providing a direct URL.
    THe JSP does some specific function here.
    If the user get the JSP url by right click and view source, they can very well use this outside my ApEx application.
    I want to apply security like, the JSP url only works inside my ApEx application.
    My thought, if I can share ApEx session with JSP session I can impose the security check in JSP level.
    Any idea would be appreciable.

    Hi,
    Im using below method to call jsp page and passing UserName, application id and Session as
    <iframe src="http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/...javaapplication.jsp?userId=&USER.&appId=&APP_ID.&sessId=&SESSION."></iframe>
    Vailidation is done against the table "wwv_flow_sessions$" of schema : flows_030100 ,whether those values are exist in table.
    But if user is already logged into apex application, he can run the jsp independantly taking the url from "view source".
    Im also looking for more solid validation

    According to the above, your session_id is 581 which is blocked by session_id 572 so you need to kill the 3rd session in the list.

    Suppose there us user 'abc' there are multple instance of this user and all are active but same USERNAME. So Please tell me how can i identify that session through which i am executing the query.
    Thanks,
    Nitin

    Some ideas for how to pick the right session:
    -Look at the time the session was connected (logon_time)
    -Look at the time the session last started it's most recent statement (last_call_et)
    -Look at the sql that the session is running (join with sql_address and sql_hash_value over to v$sqltext_with_newlines or one of the other views that show you the sql they are running)
    That usually gets me most of the way, if it's possible to distinguish them. ("Yeah I just started this query and I want you to kill it." is different than "I started five different queries at about the same time and I'm not sure which one I need killed.")
