What timeout value do you want to modify exactly?
ICX: Session Timeout?

Read this: ICX: Session Timeout Is Not Taking Effect (Doc ID 2142867.1)
It suggests autoconfig+plan.xml modification

Check this one as well- > MES SCReen Timed Out In 30-40 Mins After Setting Session Time Out To 2 Hours. (Doc ID 2183327.1)

Thats really useful,thank you.still wanted to know,is it possible to change any configuration when admin is down?

[ErmanArslansOracleBlog]

Yes, but not recommended.

[satish]

When we change any configuration in console,for example in timeout value,it should be written to plan.xml file automatically.or do we need to edit plan.xml files manually

[ErmanArslansOracleBlog]

In most of the cases, we don't modify plan.xml manually.
What kind of configuration change are you talking about?

If you change forms session timeout in console,will it get updated to plan.xml?

[satish]

yes

[ErmanArslansOracleBlog]

The forms session timeout in EBS 12.2 , is set using the ICX:Session Timeout.

AutoConfig (adconfig) uses the variable s_sesstimeout from the $APPL_TOP/admin/<context>.xml to determine the ‘ICX:Session Timeout’ profile option.

So , you set s_sesstimeout and run autoconfig to set the session timeout properly.

However, this action may not be sufficient to set the session timeout in some cases.. In such cases as documented  in "ICX: Session Timeout Is Not Taking Effect (Doc ID 2142867.1)", you need to update the plan.xml manually.

In brief, normally you don't touch the plan.xml file.
I hope this answer is what you are looking for.

And yes! when you change someting in the application level using weblogic console.
Then, plan.xml is updated.
Weblogic will say to you something like this ->

Deployment plan has been successfully updated.
Remember to update your deployment to reflect the new plan when you are finished with your changes.


I tested it using weblogic console- >
I open the page "Home >Summary of Servers >forms_server1 >Summary of Deployments >ebs-forms >forms(1.0.0)" and changed the Session Timeout (in seconds).. The related plan.xml is updated.!

Fyi.

ICX session timeout which you mentioned is for OAF timeout right?will forms also use the same parameter/profile

[ErmanArslansOracleBlog]

ICX:Session -> Timeout Maximum idle time for the Oracle E-Business Suite user session (specified in minutes).

[ErmanArslansOracleBlog]

You need to set ICX: Session timeout (also consider the documents that I have given in my previous updates)
The question in this topic is answered. If you any other questions , please create another issues for them.
