Set a session timeout interval to define the amount of time a Planning Analytics Workspace login session can go unused before it is no longer valid.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the cluster command line.
  2. Run this following command: $ oc set env deploy wa-proxy SESSION_TIMEOUT=<desired-timeout>

    <desired-timeout> is specified as a positive integer followed by a unit of time, which can be hours (h), minutes (m), or seconds (s).

    For example, specify 30 seconds as 30s. You can include multiple values in a single entry. For example, 1m30s is equivalent to 90 seconds. The default session timeout is 60 minutes.

Example

To set a session timeout of 2 hours, run the command $ oc set env deploy wa-proxy SESSION_TIMEOUT=2h.
