Hope this step-by-step guide would help :)

My Baan environment:

Version: Baan 5.0c
OS : Windows 2000



Session_Timeout: Apply to all users

1. In the server running Baan ERP, go to ${BSE}\lib\DEFAULTS folder.
*NOTES: ${BSE} means the Baan folder, for my case, the path would like this: C:\Baan5c\lib\DEFAULTS

2. Check if a file named 'all' exists in DEFAULTS folder, if yes proceed to step 5, else create the required file by the following steps.

3. On the screen of DEFAULST folder, click on Tools>Folder Option…>View, uncheck the ‘Hide file extensions for known file types’. Then click OK.

4. Right click anywhere of the DEFAULTS folder screen, select New>Text Document, type in the file name all without any file extension (it suppose to be 'all' but not 'all.txt').

5. Double click on the file (i.e. the file named ‘all’) and then select Notepad to open it.

6. Type in the time out setting. For example, if you would like to set the session time out to 10 minutes, then type in the following line:

session_timeout:10

7. Save the file.



Session_Timeout: Apply to particular user

1. In the server running Baan ERP, go to ${BSE}\lib\USER folder.
*NOTES: ${BSE} means the Baan folder, for my case, the path would like this: C:\Baan5c\lib\USER

2. Find the user file that you would apply the setting. For instance, I would like to apply the setting to a user 'aaron', then I should find the user file named uaaron (it might have another file like uaaron-, you can ignore that file).

3. Double click on the file and then select Notepad to open it.

4. Type in the time out setting at the very first line (actually the sequence doesn’t matter). For example, if I would like to make the user’s session never time out, I would type in the following line:

session_timeout:0

5. Save the file, if you open the file again, the contents would be something like this:

session_timeout:0
unixuser:aaron
usertype:S
…
(other settings)
