Hi,

Can you please try and see if below change helps once:

- Take a backup of file web.xml at path

<controller_install_dir>/appserver/glassfish/domains/domain1/applications/controller/controller-web_war/WEB-INF/ to change default session timeout

snippet:
<session-config>
<session-timeout>20</session-timeout>
</session-config>

- now restart UI java process of controller UI

is there a recomended settign for this. IS setting it to 720 a bad idea?

    <session-config>

        <session-timeout>720</session-timeout>

    </session-config>

Hi,

There is no recommended setting because the requirement is to increase the default recommended value itself, it depends on session timeout value you want to set, so go ahead and update as per your requirement
