Change Task session timeout default value?

[gandalfgray]

Hi

Is it possible to change the Task session timeout default value 1440?

1440 minutes (=24 hrs) which is the default default value is not a very useful timeout for us.

Is there a config file somewhere, where you can change this?

from what i could find no,  but i think this is a huge flaw.

if you have a report which runs away on memory, it effectively brings down the server as each subsequent task keeps trying for 24hours.

I understand why its probably defaults to 24 to ensure loads are not terminated early when first added, but i think this should be a defined system variable in the QMC, majority of mine are now set to 10mins.

Anyone found a way to configure this yet?

Hello all,

I am checking if the default could be changed, in the meanwhile other options would be setting it with the API
Open API specification for Repository Main API − post /reloadtask/create - Qlik | Help

or change the value directly on the DB, ReloadTasks table of the QRS.

Cheers,

Albert

Hi all

Possibility to change the Task session timeout default value would be useful. 24h is long period...

I prefer do not to modify QSR DB directly. It's risky.

Any  news in that topic?

Hello @Kriss ,

If you would like that functionality to be the product, the an Idea would need to be created for our Product Managers to review. Kindly review:

Isn't that what has been done already?

https://community.qlik.com/t5/Suggest-an-Idea/Configurable-quot-Task-session-timeout-quot-default/id...

But a colleague of yours misinterpreted the text and marked the idea as delivered.

We still cannot change the default-setting so something else than 1440 is filled in from the beginning.

I see, seems the request was not capture properly. 

That you would like to have a global setting that allows you to edit the default Task Timeout for all new created tasks. I would suggest you add a comment there, so it adds more context.

Cheers,

Albert

That idea is closed for commenting so I added another one.
