Hi everybody
could anyone help me to solve this issue ....

Application users(i.e toad or whatever the client software) disconnected from oracle and need to relogin
after being idle for sometime.
I am working on the default profile and idle_time is set to unlimited
also, i tried to set sqlnet_expire_time in sqlnet.ora
but no way.

Thanks in advance,
Sami

It is not clear if you want the sessions to be killed after idle time or if the sessions are actually killed.

What does this mean? What did you try? To achieve what?

Yes, you are wrong.
It does not check session activity but network connection availability.
And you didn't answer my questions.

If you look sqlnet.expire_time in the docs, you will find it does not do what you think.

But it can sometimes help, for a very different reason. If your users are conencting through a fiewall or over a VPN, the firewall/VPN may be configured to break idle sessions. You need to talk to your network administrators about this. Sometimes setting the sqlent.expire_time can prevent this, because it will send a message avery few seconds which may force the firewall/VPN to keep the session open. No guarantee, though.

Or write a shell script to kill idle sessions and make it as a cron job.
You should be very careful in this ...

I'm not sure he wants to kill the sessions, maybe the sessions are killed and he wants to prevent this. So my first and still unanswered question.

Is this a statement or a requirement?
