Session Time Out

I'm working in Business Central and my session time out happens quickly. How can I extend session time out in the system?

    Hello,

    Timeout is mostly done by the BC Server admin in configuration, especially with these two settings:

    "Idle Client Timeout" - default MaxValue, but very often it is set to sometihng lower, for example 02:00:00 (2 hours). And

    "Keep Alive Interval" - default 00:02:00 - kind of a heartbeat when the client is active to let the server know.

    When I sayh mostly, I mean that there are other factors that can get your session timed out, whether your session is a Web Client, Win Client or something that communicates via Web Services for example. Also most browsers have timeouts, as does SQL Server, so unfortunately, determining where a timeout comes from is never as simple as it sounds. But start with the two settings mentioned above.
