Recommended Inactivity Time Out Setting
« on: September 07, 2012, 11:18:03 AM »
  Is there a recommended inactivity timeout setting in the system parameters.  Currently have it set to '30' minutes but our average number of concurrent users has almost tripled in the last 2 years and I was wondering if lowering the value by a few minutes might reduce concurrent users and improve performance....  or would it not make much difference ?

As far as I know, the only impact an idle user has on server resources is RAM -- a few MB per user.  If the server is busy, this RAM would get swapped out to swap space.

Since CMOD isn't licensed on the 'concurrent user model' anymore, there's no advantage for licensing either.

I'd just set it to your company's standard inactivity timeout.
