The Billing session timeout defines how long a Billing session is kept in case a user is idle. When the session timeout is over, the session expires and a user is forwarded to Billing login page in case they attempts to access some Billing component.
By default, the session timeout is set to 900 seconds in Billing.
If needed, the session timeout can be changed by means of www configuration file customization.
All customizations must be stored in the non-system www.conf file. This means that if you had not yet created a copy of www.conf, then you must create it.
For more information about Billing configuration files, see later in this guide.
To create the www.conf file for customization:
- At the Billing application server, go to
~bm/etc/ssm.conf.ddirectory. - Copy the system Billing file
.www.confintowww.conf. This copying will create a copy of a system template.www.confand allow you to customize www configuration file. - Remove the unnecessary strings from the www.conf file.
The value of the TTL argument defines Billing session timeout in seconds. The TTL argument is to be added to the [arguments] section of the www.conf file, for example:
[arguments]
TTL=600
This will set Billing session timeout to 10 min.
Note: We recommend that you set the same timeout as in Operations. The timeout for Operations session is configured in Operations PCP at System > Settings > System Properties > User session timeout (minutes).
