Viewing Active Sessions

A session is a logical construct that establishes persistence (or stateful behavior) across page views. The Active Sessions report lists active sessions with the current workspace.

Whenever an application is run, the Application Express engine maintains a record in a database table in the Oracle Application Express schema. This table records a numeric identifier (or session ID), the authenticated (or public) user identifier, the creation date, and other information. The session is the key record that enables session state, or persistence, across page requests. By viewing the Active Sessions report, a developer or administrator can see who has been using applications in a workspace. An active session is a session that has not yet been purged from the sessions table. A DBMS job runs every eight hours and purges session records older than 24 hours.

To view active session details:

1. Navigate to the Workspace home page.

2. From the Administration list, click Monitor Activity.

3. Under Sessions, select Active Sessions.

4. Click a session ID to view the Session Details page.
