ICX Timeout Profile Values

The document discusses various timeout profile values and settings that control screen timeouts for Oracle E-Business Suite forms and self-service sessions. It provides default and recommended values for parameters like ICX:Session Timeout, ICX: Limit Time, ICX: Limit Connect, JTF_INACTIVE_SESSION_TIMEOUT, and timeout settings for JServ, Apache HTTP, and Forms 60. These parameters control the length of inactivity periods before sessions are disabled or terminated to avoid draining resources.

ICX Timeout Profile Values

The following E-Business Suite profile options control screen timeouts for Forms, as well as Self Service
sessions. Again, please note, some of the ICX profiles also control Forms Session timeouts! This can
be confusing since Inter-Cartridge Exchange (ICX) is often associated with Self Service applications. This is no
longer the case since the release of Framework for the ICX Profiles control the timeout functionality.

Default Recommendation
Parameter

None 30 (minutes)
ICX:Session Timeout

4 (hours) 4 (hours)
ICX: Limit Time

1000 2000
ICX: Limit Connect

ICX:Session Timeout This profile option determines the length of time (in minutes) of inactivity in a users
form session before the session is disabled. Note that disabled does not mean terminated or killed. The user is
provided the opportunity to re-authenticate and re-enable their timed-out session. If the re-authentication is
successful, the disabled session is re-enabled and no work is lost. Otherwise, the session is terminated without
saving pending work. This functionality is available via Patch 2012308 (included in 11.5.7, FND.E). Note:
Setting the profile value to greater than 30 minutes can drain the JVM resources and cause out of memory
errors.

ICX: Limit time This profile option defines the maximum connection time for a connection regardless of
user activity. If ICX:Session Timeout is set to NULL, then the session will last only as long as ICX: Limit Time,
regardless of user activity.

ICX: Limit connect This profile option defines the maximum number of connection requests a user can make
in a single session. Note that other EBS internal checks will generate connection requests during a user session,
so it is not just user activity that can increment the count.

CRM Application Timeout Profile Values


CRM applications use the afore-mentioned ICX timeout profiles (ICX:Session Timeout, ICX: Limit Time, and ICX:
Limit Connect), but additionally, CRM also utilizes the JTF_INACTIVE_SESSION_TIMEOUT profile option.

Default Recommendation
Parameter

None 30 (minutes)
JTF_INACTIVE_SESSION_TIMEOUT

JTF_INACTIVE_SESSION_TIMEOUT This profile option affects CRM-based products only, and serves the
same purpose as the ICX:Session Timeout profile. This profile option exists for legacy reasons, and its value
should be set the same as ICX:Session Timeout.

Jserv (Java) Timeout Settings


Parameter Recommendation
disco4iviewer.properties:session.timeout 5400000 (milliseconds)
formservlet.ini:FORMS60_TIMEOUT 55 (minutes)
formservlet.properties:session.timeout 5400000 (milliseconds)
jserv.conf:ApJServVMTimeout 360 (seconds)
mobile.properties:session.timeout 5400000 (milliseconds)
zone.properties:session.timeout 5400000 (milliseconds)
zone.properties:servlet.framework.initArgs 5400000 (milliseconds)
These settings are located at: ../*ora/iAS/Apache/Jserv/etc

JServ Timeout is specified by the value of the property session.timeout in the JServ configuration file
zone.properties, and represents the number of milliseconds to wait before ending an idle JServ session (the
default is 30 minutes). This timeout is used by products based on Oracle Applications Framework (OAF).

Apache HTTP Timeout Settings


The following parameter settings control timeout behavior within Apache.

Parameter Recommendation
httpd.conf:Timeout 300 (seconds)
httpd.conf:KeepAliveTimeout 15 (seconds)
httpd.conf:SSLSessionCacheTimeout 300 (seconds)
These settings are located: ../*ora/iAS/Apache/Apache/conf

Forms 60 Environment Timeout Variables


The following parameter settings control timeout behavior within Oracle Forms.

Parameter Recommendation
FORMS60_TIMEOUT 55 (minutes)
FORMS60_CATCHTERM 0
You should modify the APPL_TOP/<SID>.env setting to include the following settings:

FORMS60_CATCHTERM=0
FORMS60_TIMEOUT=55 (minutes)

I recommend using a timeout value of 55 because it is less than the 60 minute value recommended for the web
apache timeout values. Note that these values may vary depending on security policies.
