Resolution

1. Navigate to the following location on the server hosting the Workload Automation DE Web Client.
   • Unix / Linux: <WA_DE_Install_dir>/apache-tomcat/webapps/deui/common/scripts
   • Windows: <WA_DE_Install_dir>\apache-tomcat\webapps\deui\common\scripts
2. Save a backup copy of the config.js file and open it with a text editor, and update the timer value for the idle:<value> (key:value pair) to a desired setting.
   
   Example:
   To change the idle timer value from 20 minutes to 60 minutes, update the idle value below:
   
   .constant('System', {autoRefreshInterval:20000,defaultAlias:'DEFAULT',devMode:false,mock:false,mockApiPath:'../test/data',apiPath:'/dewebui/api',buildNo:'local',server:'<IP-address>',port:7500,integSrv:'https://cawade-12.x.xx.xx-webui:8443/dewebui',idle:20,timeout:5,idleInterval:10,installedtime:1475658314505,version:'12.x.xx.xx-1548',pages:{login:'../login/#/',index:'../main/#/dashboard',admin:'../main/#/conn',documentation:'https://docops.example.com/display/WLADEWEB/CA+Workload+Automation+DE+Web+Client+-+Home'}}) ;
   
   to:
   
   .constant('System', {autoRefreshInterval:20000,defaultAlias:'DEFAULT',devMode:false,mock:false,mockApiPath:'../test/data',apiPath:'/dewebui/api',buildNo:'local',server:'<IP-address>',port:7500,integSrv:'https://cawade-12.x.xx.xx-webui:8443/dewebui',idle:60,timeout:5,idleInterval:10,installedtime:1475658314505,version:'12.x.xx.xx-1548',pages:{login:'../login/#/',index:'../main/#/dashboard',admin:'../main/#/conn',documentation:'https://docops.example.com/display/WLADEWEB/CA+Workload+Automation+DE+Web+Client+-+Home'}}) ;
   
   Note: A value of zero (0) is NOT acceptable. For example, idle:0 is invalid.
   
   
3. Save the changes to the config.js and restart the Web Client web server service.
