Adjusting time-outs

On the Server tab, you can adjust the following time-out settings:

Idle Session

The Idle session timeout feature allows you to set the number of minutes the Concordance Desktop server and/or Admin Console allows a session to sit idle before closing the connection and disconnecting the user. When a user's connection status on the Connections tab in the Concordance Desktop Admin Console displays as Idle, the user is typically editing or reviewing records in Concordance Desktop .FYI, or working in the Concordance Desktop Admin Console.

The Idle session time-out feature can be set on the Settings and Connections tabs in the Concordance Desktop Admin Console. For more information about modifying the setting on the Connections tab, see Setting user connection options.

The idle session timeout does not apply when a user is running a production or print job associated with the Concordance Viewer so that these jobs are allowed to run to completion.

Shutdown

You can adjust the number of seconds the Concordance Desktop server waits before ending a session in FYI Reviewer or Concordance Desktop .FYI by changing the Shutdown timeout (in seconds) setting on the Settings tab. Sessions are ended when Concordance Desktop server services are stopped/restarted on the Server tab or when an individual user session is disconnected on the Connections tab. When a user’s session ends, Concordance Desktop server first attempts a soft kill, which sends a message to the server requesting it to close all files, save data, and end the user's session. Soft kills do not save data currently being edited by the client.

If a time-out occurs while a user is performing a long-term process, such as packing, indexing, or running a CPL, possible database corruption may occur.

Disconnect

You can adjust the number of seconds the Concordance Desktop server waits before disconnecting users' connections to the Concordance Desktop Admin Console by changing the Disconnected timeout (in seconds) setting on the Settings tab. Sessions are ended when Concordance Desktop server services are stopped/restarted on the Server tab or when an individual user session is disconnected on the Connections tab. When a user’s session ends, Concordance Desktop server first attempts a soft kill, which sends a message to the server requesting it to close all files, save data, and end the user's session. Soft kills do not save data currently being edited by the client.

If a time-out occurs while a user is performing a long-term process, such as packing, indexing, or running a CPL, possible database corruption may occur.
