Finding session timeout period programatically

[Former Member]

Hi,

I need to findout the session timeout period of portal (not the application.. I do not want to specify any ExpirationTime at the application level). Based on this value, I want to notify user a minute before the session expires using Timed Trigger UI. I searched a lot but couldnt find any API that can provide this information. We are on Netweaver 7.0 SP8.

Appreciate if anyone could tell the API name or provide some hints.

Thanks

Hi Kumar,

U can set session time out message using portal development.

create a par file for this n deploy this on server.

Thanks Khushboo,

I already saw your wiki link and felt that it can serve the purpose. Sometimes we launch our application with URL parameter NavMode=3 which will hide the mast head. Does your solution work in this situation too?

I am using Web Dynpro Java and I am wondering if there is an easier way to achieve this. All I need is the portal session timeout value.

Thanks
