Environment
Web Applications
Vista, Designer, Management Console
Cause
As of PME 9.0 the user will be logged out of the web applications after 20 minutes of no activity. This also applies to thick client applications such as Vista, Designer, and Management Console.
Resolution
This setting can be adjusted to prevent it from logging out of the user or extend the timeout.
For PME 9.0:
Browse to http://HOSTNAME/systemdataservice/timeoutsettings where HOSTNAME is the server name of the application server. This allows a default timeout value to be specified. The web applications and the thick client applications can have different timeout values. Setting the value to 0 removes the timeout altogether, although for security reasons, it is not recommended.
For PME 2020:
As of PME 2020, the Session Timeout settings have been added to Web Applications. To configure the session timeout navigate to Web Applications > Settings > Security > Session Timeout. This will provide the option to disable or specify a default timeout value.
Note: A timeout value from 1 minute to 1440 minutes (1 day) is allowed.
Additional Information

To restart or unlock the session the login credentials must be entered. A session is considered inactive if none of the following actions are detected:
