Re: Logout user after session timeout.
Talking to your BMC Sales Representative as to what you are allowed to do and what you are not might also help. As stated by others before in this thread, according to the license agreement, we cannot tamper with the user's license programmatically to remove or add licenses programmatically.. However if you need to logout users due to inactivity after about 5 or 10 minutes due to security concerns (banking sector, military sector, government sector, etc), it becomes sort of a business requirement for you to log a user out programmatically. In your case it doesn't sound like security is the concern as you want to free the license after the user times out. So your issue seems more like floating licenses not being released after a timeout. It may not hurt to ask your management to talk with your BMC Sales Representatives to see if you can programmatically logout a user before 60 minutes (lets say in 58th or 59th minute). The license should have been released after a timeout to the best of my knowledge and that is not happening, so you might be able to get them to agree to let you circumvent a solution. The EULA is to protect the vendor - BMC in this case from unlawful usage which might have an impact on their license revenue. But if sometimes in some business relationships, revenue by itself is not the end of it all. If you have a good relationship with your BMC Sales Representatives, explain to them your concerns and they might be able to help you out. I'm not saying it will work or they will agree, but it doesn't hurt to ask.

Re: Logout user after session timeout.
Hi, You WILL break the license agreement (EULA) if you automate user logout in a time frame less than 60 minutes. If you only use FIXED licenses for these users there should be no problem. Joels suggestion might work, but the users might loose data when their active windows are closed. I would not worry too much about overhead, as this would be a client based thing (ACTL). You could also reboot your AR Server process every 15 minutes. This would logout all users from the server, and the active users should notice nothing unless they press Save/Search during the servers startup time... Abhishek, you have not described WHY you need to do this. Can you please elaborate. We might give you some new ideas.

Re: Logout user after session timeout.
Hi, You can lower the logout timeout to 1 hour, and if you set the same thing for the session timeout, you should get what you want. You can not lower the timeout below 1 hour, as this would affect license usage. If BMC lowered the minimum time, they would also need to increase their license fees to get the same amount of money from us.

Re: Logout user after session timeout.
Hi Misi, Thanks for your reply, I have a session timeout for 15 min and what i want is the user should be logged out immediately after 15 min cannot wait for 60 min, do you have any idea how this can be achieved out of the box or customized.

Re: Logout user after session timeout.
Abhishek, I don’t know if this violates the BMC EULA; you should check! In theory, you’re automating a user logout; which MAY be OK with the BMC license to which you have already agreed to comply. So, as an academic exercise: 1. Add a Global Date/Time (i.e. ‘LastAction’) field to all forms your users may use (home page, HPD:HD, etc.) 2. On each form create an active link that sets the Global ‘LastAction’ to $TIMESTAMP$ upon (almost) all actions (submit, modify, search, etc.) 3. Also on all the forms, create an active link that runs every 7.5 minutes (450 seconds). RunIf ($TIMESTAMP$ - ‘Last Action’ > (450)). If true: a. Run process SET-CHANGE-FLAG 0 (prevents “OK to Close?” prompt) b. Run Process PERFORM-ACTION-EXIT-APP Note this will increase processing overhead, as all users on ‘all’ forms will be running the A/L.

Re: Logout user after session timeout.
The problem with API is that it interacts with the server, not the client, and without a client component, you can't interact with it...So you could write some API thing, but would still need an AL that does the actual logout.

Any idea regarding this ??

In theory, you’re automating a user logout; which MAY be OK with the BMC license to which you have already agreed to comply . So, as an academic exercise: 1. Add a Global Date/Time (i.e. ‘LastAction’) field to all forms your users may use (home page, HPD:HD, etc.) 2. On each form create an active link that sets the Global ‘LastAction’ to $TIMESTAMP$ upon (almost) all actions (submit, modify, search, etc.) 3. Also on all the forms, create an active link that runs every 7.5 minutes (450 seconds). RunIf ($TIMESTAMP$ - ‘Last Action’ > (450)). If true: a. Run process SET-CHANGE-FLAG 0 (prevents “OK to Close?” prompt) b. Run Process PERFORM-ACTION-EXIT-APP Note this will increase processing overhead, as all users on ‘all’ forms will be running the A/L.
