Changing the console session expiration

Run this JACL script to set how long Integrated Solutions Console can be used until the login session expires.

1. Copy the following script into a file.

   
   set dep [$AdminConfig getid /Deployment:isclite/]
   set appDep [$AdminConfig list ApplicationDeployment $dep]
   set sesMgmt [$AdminConfig list SessionManager $appDep] 
   
   # check if existing sesMgmt there or not, if not then create a new one, if exist then modify it
   if {$sesMgmt == ""} {
        # get applicationConfig to create new SessionManager
        set appConfig [$AdminConfig list ApplicationConfig $appDep]
        if {$appConfig == ""} {
            # create a new one
            set appConfig [$AdminConfig create ApplicationConfig $appDep {}]
            # then create a new SessionManager using new Application Config just created
            set sesMgmt [$AdminConfig create SessionManager $appConfig {}]   
        } else {
             #  create new SessionManager using the existing ApplicationConfig
             set sesMgmt [$AdminConfig create SessionManager $appConfig {}] 
   
        }
   }  
   
   # get tuningParams config id
   set tuningParams [$AdminConfig showAttribute $sesMgmt tuningParams]
   if {$tuningParams == ""} {
       # create a new tuningParams
       # to disable the session expiration, set the value to -1
       $AdminConfig  create TuningParams  $sesMgmt {{invalidationTimeout <timeout value>}}  
   
   } else {
        # modify the existing one
        # to disable the session expiration, set the value to -1
        $AdminConfig modify $tuningParams {{invalidationTimeout <timeout value>}}  
   
   }
   
   # saving the configuration changes
   $AdminConfig save
   
   

2. Change the <timeout value> on the two lines of this sample to the new session expiration value. This number specifies the number of minutes the console preserves the session during inactivity.
3. Save the file to any directory using, for example, the filename timeout.jacl.
   Avoid trouble: Make sure not to end the file name with the .py extension. It is not possible to run a file as a Jacl script after it receives the *.py extension.
4. Start the wsadmin scripting client from the <WAS-install>/profiles/<profile_name>/bin directory.
5. Issue the following command.

   wsadmin -f <path to jacl file>/timeout.jacl

   When the selected file name does not contain the .jacl extension, incorporate -lang jacl into the command.
