How To Change User Session Timeout In E-Business Suite R12

Perform the steps given below:

1. Edit the .xml file in $INST_TOP/appl/admin directory

2. Ensure that value of profile option "ICX: Session Timeout" and autoconfig variable "s_oc4j_sesstimeout" in context file match.
    e.g.: below are the steps to set the timeout after 45 minutes:

          In case you need the session to timeout after 45 min then the profile option "ICX: Session Timeout" and autoconfig variable "s_oc4j_sesstimeout" should be set to 45

          The "ICX: Session Timeout" is set by Autoconfig using the s_sesstimeout variable, therefore the s_sesstimeout should be set to 2700000 in the context file. ( s_sesstimeout /1000*60 >>> Autoconfig uses this to populate ICX_SEESION_TIMEOUT value)
          Update the context file on all Middle tiers.

3. Run autoconfig and retest the issue.

4. Migrate the solution as appropriate to other environments.

ICX_SESSION_TIMEOUT profile is set by Autoconfig hence we need to have e.g to get the timeout of 60 mins set correctly.
we need to have these two variables set correctly .

s_oc4j_sesstimeout  >> In Minutes


s_sesstimeout /1000*60 >>> Autoconfig uses this to populate ICX_SEESION_TIMEOUT value


so set the time out to 60 mins:
Update context file on all MT's:
s_oc4j_sesstimeout to 60

s_sesstimeout  to 3600000

Run autoconfig.

Steps to Change User Session Timeout In E-Business Suite 12.2

To set the User Session Timeout, test the following steps in a development instance and then migrate accordingly:

1. In 12.2 the system profile "ICX:Session Timeout" is the only required change. Context variable "s_oc4j_sesstimeout" has been removed in release 12.2, so the setting is no longer used.

 Please login to EBS and make the autoconfig variable change on s_sessiontimeout in Oracle Applications Manager and then save the change, run autoconfig, and restart services. That will update the "ICX: Session Timeout" profile

   In some cases you may also need to follow the steps in Note 2142867.1 - ICX: Session Timeout Is Not Taking Effect (Doc ID 2142867.1)

Note 1373537.1 - "Oracle Application Framework Profile Options Release 12.2"
