HOW TO SETUP THE PROGRESS ClientTimeOut
With Progress 9.1D03, Progress has made available a timeout feature.
To implement the feature the following lines must be added to the Startup
registry key on the server. This process applies to all clients connected to
the database.
Where 'n' is the number of minutes after which the user will be disconnected
if there is no activity. Again, this is a server parameter so all users will
be affected by this setting. Activity is defined as mouse and keyboard
activity from client to server.
This ClientTimeOut parameter can be put into the registry of the following
key, by default this key will not exist so will need to be created.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\PSC\PROGRESS\9.1D\STARTUP
Once you open the Startup Key, from the top select EDIT > NEW > STRING. The
string name is called "ClientTimeOut" in the value field put in how many
minutes till disconnection.
Once the changes have been made you will need to reboot the server for
progress to reread the registry on startup of the Admin Service.

I keep reading about the "Progress Registry Setting" But I cant find
what the setting is or instructions on what to change. Does anyone
have a link to this?

different one comes up specifically asking you to press the space
bar. Not very "graceful" but not difficult and you sure know when
you have been timed out (a little reenforcement to get people to
logout if they ar enot using Vantage). Does not hurt anything and
any mid-stream transactions are backed out as if you had clicked on
the "X" in the corner of a screen.

if a user PC crashes and leaves a ghost session that ghost will
expire in two hours (with no messages). There are times when I
would like to set the limit to 1 hour to get rid of ghost sessions
sooner but it is a trade-off between license usage and user
inconvenience.
