When the session timeout is reached, a message is shown.
I would like to handle the timeout by redirecting the user to the login form in stead of showing the message. Is this possible?
If this is not possible, can I change the message that is shown?

Hi Saskia,

Sorry to let you know that Appeon does not this currently; however you may implement your own timeout mechanism in PowerBuilder without using the Appeon timeout setting.
Please try the following solution:
1. Set Session Timeout in AEM to 0 (AEM > Application > Transactions > Timeout > [your application] > Session Timeout). In this way, Appeon will not timeout itself.
2. Add global variables to set the timeout and the user logon time in your code.
3. Check the timeout in a timer event. You can popup a warning message before it reaches the timeout and close the application when it passes the timeout.

Regards,
Appeon Support Team

Hello

I tried to use the application idle event to close the application after being idle for a while.
According to the documentation, appeon supports this event.
When testing with the emulator, it works.

However on an actual mobile device nothing happens.
Why is the application idle event not triggered?

Kind regards, Saskia

Hello

It looks as if the problem has to do with sleepmode of the mobile device.
When I switch it of, the idle event is triggered and the application closes.
With the device going into sleepmode it sometimes seems to work and sometimes not.
I haven't found a consistency yet in this behavior. Any ideas?

Kind regards,
Saskia

Hi Saskia

When the device goes into sleep mode, the app goes into sleep mode too (the app won’t work when the device is in sleep mode).

Kind regards,
