Web Dynpro Session Time-out Issue

[Former Member]

Does anyone know how to show a message to the user when Web Dynpro session is timed out?

The scenario is:

The user is filling a WD form. If for some reason the user is distracted and he returns back to his form after 45 minutes then the user can still enter the information in the input fields but the application fails and the user looses his work (because of the session time-out). The reason for 45 minutes time-out setting on WD side is to release the lock on the backend SAP objects.

The user is not getting any warning that his session is timed out.

Has anybody faced similar problems?

Thanks in Advance

Hey Anand Bhambure,

You can increase the expiration time as you need.

ExpirationTime

The configuration property ExpirationTime describes the lifetime (in seconds) of a Web Dynpro application on the server before the Web application is terminated by the server. The value assigned to the DefaultExpirationTime parameter in the system configuration is used as the default value.

Right click on your Application -> Properties-> Appl Properties-> New -> Expiration time -> set the time in milliseconds. and save.

Thanks

We know how to set the session time out. The problem is we do not want to set it too high and keep the record locked. We need a warning when the session is timed out.

Hi Anand Bhambure,

In that case, you need to write code in the wdInit() or some other event and read the expiration time seconds from the application properties and then calculate the time by seconds decreasing by , and at the end give a messge to the user saying the session is going to out. please refresh.

It wil help u.

Hi Suresh,

Could you please tell me exactly where to change this property? Is it within Visual Admin, ConfigTool or NWA?

Hi,

What about creating a timer object when the application is launched and setting it to run at 1 minute before the session timeout limit. Then, in the event the timer triggers you create a popup message saying the session has timed out.
