We have a request form a customer, to have separate timeouts for different users or user groups.

Customers exact use case: “ Regular users such as Finance people, to have a timeout of 60 minutes. The people using scanners and other transactions in the plant and warehouse to have the timeout set to unlimited.

I tried the option in oracle user groups in an App10 environment by setting the Idle Time property for a set of users(for a oracle user group), but it seems not working as we expect. Any workaround has  identified for this setup?

 

 

Hi @Malsha,

Could you please explain the reason to set this idle timeout in Oracle profile? Is it to force users to log back in to the application after they have been idle for a certain period of time? 


Yes @Charith Epitawatta, But it has to be set up in user specific way.


Hi @Malsha,

Well in that case, you cannot do this from Oracle Profiles in IFSAPP10 or IFSAPP9. There are no dedicated sessions since IFSAPP9 so setting an idle timeout in Oracle Profile won’t make the user logout. For this you can set the following system parameter:

 

However, this is set for all users and cannot be configured for user groups. Furthermore, this parameter works on client level, not database level, so this timeout is only applicable for IEE.

Please refer to following post as well.

Hope this helps!
