Thanks for the info. 20 minutes is a compliance requirement and its better to have it as close as possible to 20 and in one of my
test case, it has varied by 3.5 minutes. I found the settings that you had mentioned here
Servers > Application Servers > server_name > Web Container > Session Management > Distributed Environment Settings > Custom Tuning Parameters and its set to 120 seconds, but that doesn't explain a difference of 3.5 minutes.
My other question regarding the above mentioned setting is that it (websphere admin) says that every 120 seconds the session will be written to the persistent store, but what happens if there is no need to persist a session?
Thanks.
