question on session timeouts in EBS R12.2

[satish]

Dear Erman,

Oracle recommends to set ICX session timeout profile in R12.2.we need your support in understanding below concerns.

1)Will these timeout clears the OS process and backend session as well?
2)will these timeouts releases the connection back to the pool?


Thank you

First of all;

Forms timeout is set using ICX: Session timeout.
In EBS 12.2, we go with ICX: Session timeout.

We also --if needed-- set the timeout values in the plan.xml files to the same value that we set for ICX Session timeout. (as documented in ICX: Session Timeout Is Not Taking Effect (Doc ID 2142867.1))

There is no difference between setting OAF and Forms timeout . (regarding the documentation)

So according to the documentation, we use ICX: Session Timeout for session the "session" timeout in EBS 12.2. This sessions refers to oacore and forms (everything)

However, I believe some advanced configuration can be done using the plan.xml files... If you need you need to try them.

For ex: I believe, if you set ICX: Session timeout to 30 mins, and if you set the timeout value of OACORE (using plan.xml) to 45 mins, then you will have 30 mins timeout for forms and 45 min timeout for OACORE.

Lets get back to your questions:

1) Yes , the relevant forms server side runtime process will be cleared.
2) If the oacore session is timed out, then yes (it should be so, btw I didn't test it yet)
