The problem with API is that it interacts with the server, not the client, and without a client component, you can't interact with it...So you could write some API thing, but would still need an AL that does the actual logout.

In theory, you’re automating a user logout; which MAY be OK with the BMC license to which you have already agreed to comply . So, as an academic exercise: 1. Add a Global Date/Time (i.e. ‘LastAction’) field to all forms your users may use (home page, HPD:HD, etc.) 2. On each form create an active link that sets the Global ‘LastAction’ to $TIMESTAMP$ upon (almost) all actions (submit, modify, search, etc.) 3. Also on all the forms, create an active link that runs every 7.5 minutes (450 seconds). RunIf ($TIMESTAMP$ - ‘Last Action’ > (450)). If true: a. Run process SET-CHANGE-FLAG 0 (prevents “OK to Close?” prompt) b. Run Process PERFORM-ACTION-EXIT-APP Note this will increase processing overhead, as all users on ‘all’ forms will be running the A/L.

You can not lower the timeout below 1 hour, as this would affect license usage. If BMC lowered the minimum time, they would also need to increase their license fees to get the same amount of money from us.
