How Do I Alter The Session Time Before User Is Logged Out Of OTM Due To Inactivity? 

Applies To:
Oracle Transportation Management - Version 5.5 and later

Goal:
How can we alter the user session time out to change how long a user can be inactive before being logged off automatically?

Solution:

The default session timeout for the Oracle Transportation Management web server is 30 minutes. If you leave Oracle Transportation Management idle for 30 minutes, your session will timeout and you will need to log in again. For some Oracle Transportation Management installations, you may want to increase this timeout. Please note that increasing the session timeout will increase the load on your web server and may decrease the number of simultaneous users that can access the system. We don‟t recommend setting this above 60 minutes.

1) Shutdown OTM services.

2) Take backup of web.xml file in below location:

To change this setting, edit the web.xml files on your Oracle Transportation Management web server. These files are located on your web server(s): <otm_install_path>/appserver/applications/GC3App.ear/WLStartup/WEB-INF/web.xml and <otm_install_path>/glog/gc3webapp.ear/GC3.war/WEB-INF/web.xml. Edit the following line in each file:

Below Parameter should be edited in above files:
<session-timeout>30</session-timeout>

3) Change the setting from 30 to your desired timeout period, in minutes. Restart the Oracle Transportation Management instance.

Note: The default session timeout for the OTM Web Server is 30 minutes.
If you leave OTM idle for 30 minutes, your session will timeout and you will need to log in again.
