Goal

This document describes how to change Workspace, WebAnalysis and Financial Management (HFM) web session timeout values.

Solution

The following procedure will change timeout settings for Workspace (deployed on Tomcat), WebAnalysis (deployed on Tomcat) and Financial Management. In the example, session duration will be set to 120 minutes)

Workspace

Edit file subcontext.properties found under one of the following folders:

• HYPERION_HOME\Biplus\Appserver\InstalledApps\Tomcat\5.0.28\workspace\webapps\workspace\conf
• HYPERION_HOME\deployments\Tomcat5\Workspace\webapps\workspace\conf

This timeout will apply to scenarios where Workspace is actually embedding another product (e.g. HFM, Financial Reporting etc). Remove the initial # and set value for lines:

SessionTimeout=120

Edit the Web.xml file found under one of the following folders:

•  HYPERION_HOME\BIplus\Appserver\InstalledApps\Tomcat\5.0.28\Workspace\Webapps\workspace\WEB-INF
•  HYPERION_HOME\deployments\Tomcat5\Workspace\webapps\workspace\WEB-INF

Find the <session-config> tag and change the value specified in the <session-timeout> tag, e.g.:

<session-config><session-timeout>120</session-timeout></session-config> 

Web Analysis

Edit the Web.xml file found under one of the following folders:

• HYPERION_HOME\BIplus\Appserver\InstalledApps\Tomcat\5.0.28\Webanalysis\Webapps\Webanalysis\WEB-INF
• HYPERION_HOME\deployments\Tomcat5\WebAnalysis\webapps\WebAnalysis\WEB-INF

Find the <session-config> tag and change the value specified in the <session-timeout> tag, e.g.:

<session-config><session-timeout>120</session-timeout></session-config>

In versions previous to 9.3.1, you might also have to edit the webanalysis.properties file found under folder HYPERION_HOME\BIPlus\AppServer\InstalledApps\Tomcat\5.0.28\WebAnalysis, adding on the first line: 

atf.sessionscope.timeout=7200

Financial Management (HFM)
