what timeout to use?

[tcoates]

In a unigui desktop program we have the ajaxTimeOut set to 60000 and sessionTimeOut set to 1800000. The person doing the demo of our program to a customer said that after doing nothing for 2 minutes when they clicked on a link in the program were redirected to the page indicating a session expired. Logically, this would be the ajaxTimeOut property? Please confirm. And if so, what is the largest time I can set this parameter to?

 

On a related manner, when the session does in fact timeout, rather than display a page that shows the session expired that has the link to restart the program - which in our case goes to a login page, is it possible to redirect the user login page instead  as that would save the user from having to click on the link?

 

If not, can we change the text and background on the page that is displayed when the session expires?

 

thanks in advance,

Tim

Hi,

 

Which version and build are you using?

[Sherzod]

Can you confirm this by doing a test yourself ?

 

Maybe you have set 180 000 instead of 1 800 000 ?

hi,

The same thing is happening to me. I have set ajaxTimeOut = 30000 and sessionTimeOut = 60000.
Sometimes the session closes at 10 min, sometimes it closes in less time.
Why does this happen?

60000=60sec=1min

600000=10min - it's by default

[ygerdel]

excuse me,

I have set  sessionTimeOut = 600000, 

but sometimes the session expires at 10 min, sometimes before 10 min

Exactly how much less than ten minutes?

[ygerdel]

It behaves in different ways,

it has expired in different periods of time before the 10 min. Is there any other property to set?

This has been a problem for some time and is amplified (worse) on iOS.

Hi.

Is possible unlimited ajaxTimeOut and sessionTimeOut ?

Thanks.

Hi,

For SessionTimeOut you can also use UniMainModule -> OnSessionTimeout event.

For session time out You can put a timer and set dummyEvents property to True.

Unlimted AjaxTimeout is not recommended.

Ok. where? mainmodule? servermodule?

And just putting a timer and setting that property to true? With no aditional code?

Please clarify.

Thanks.

sometimes the session expires before the established time (the time is variable) even if the application is being used.
