Changing the RPX session time-out value for RequisiteWeb

Question & Answer


Question

How can I change the session time-out value for IBM Rational RequisitePro client for Web (RequisiteWeb)?

Answer

Open the config.txt on a text editor an look for the [RPX Server] section, at the end of that section add RPXTimeOut=60 where 60 represents the number of minutes that the RQProxy will be active.
The valid range is from 0 to 60, others values will default to 20.

The original file contains:


[RPX Server]

' The path to the project catalog file that is used to locate RequisitePro

' projects.

' To use the default catalog location, leave this field blank.

RPXCatalog=C:\PROGRA~1\IBM\RATION~1\REQUIS~1\ReqWeb\projects\Catalog.txt

' The following configures the method and authentication used to launch the

' RequisitePro Extensibility Interface (RPX), which RequisiteWeb uses to

' access project data. We do not recommend changing the following settings

' without specific instructions from Rational technical support or product

' documentation. By default, RequisiteWeb launches the RPX inside RqProxy.exe.

' The default values are as follows:

' Install Type=2

' User ID=

' Password=

' Server Name=

' Domain=

Install Type=2

User ID=

Password=

Server Name=

Domain=


The modified file should look like these (setting the time-out to 60 minutes):


[RPX Server]

' The path to the project catalog file that is used to locate RequisitePro

' projects.

' To use the default catalog location, leave this field blank.

RPXCatalog=C:\PROGRA~1\IBM\RATION~1\REQUIS~1\ReqWeb\projects\Catalog.txt

' The following configures the method and authentication used to launch the

' RequisitePro Extensibility Interface (RPX), which RequisiteWeb uses to

' access project data. We do not recommend changing the following settings

' without specific instructions from Rational technical support or product

' documentation. By default, RequisiteWeb launches the RPX inside RqProxy.exe.

' The default values are as follows:

' Install Type=2

' Password=

' Server Name=

' Domain=

Install Type=2

User ID=

Server Name=

Domain=

RPXTimeOut=60


Save the file and close it.
