We recently migrated a PB 2019 application to 2022 and also deployed it to PowerServer.  It's been working very well.  However, one user reported an issue recently.  The user stated that the app was started and used without issue for a while.  It was then left idle for 30 minutes or so.  When he started working on it again the attached error message appeared.  The application connects to an Oracle database and we increased the transaction timeout in the web api's applications.json file to 3600 (this was done before this error was reported).

Does anyone have any thoughts on the root cause and a workaround?  A more graceful way to deal with an error like this?

Thanks, Tom

Hi Thomas,

There are two common causes for the session doesn't exist error:

1) Is the Web API application deployed on IIS? The default recycle settings for the IIS application pools may cause the session to become invalid. To resolve it, refer to: https://docs.appeon.com/ps2022/Session_does_not_exist.html

2) Have you ever reduced the Session timeout setting? By default, the timeout period for a session is 3600 seconds. Refer to: https://docs.appeon.com/ps2022/Configure_timeout_settings.html

Regards, Logan

there are various timeouts that you need to be aware of.  If your users will be idle for 30+ minutes, you should either log them out of the PB application automatically or add code to hit the database every so often to keep the session alive.

Hi Thomas;

  I suspect that it was a "session" timeout and not a DBMS timeout. Try increasing the session timeout on the App server.  HTH
