I'm working on an issue where the VIP for Oracle Applications (EBS). I have a new Persistence by Source Address Affinity to parent (default) source_addr. My timeout is 14400 and the default is 180....

For the testing that we did with the one user, yes it was consistent. While the connection was running, would run 'b persist show all' and find the age from the table. They would refresh the app from the timeout (browser F5) and then when looking at the table, the age had reset. They were ~3k seconds when the F5 is set on this VIP for 14.4k. It seemed that it would continue to persistence and leads to speculation that the F5 may be apart of it by having a reset session.

 

Sometime this week, will dig some more, check at the stages between and see what the table and session/connection shows before refresh to log back in. I felt that it should have maintained the persistence entry until the 14.4k seconds was reached, this is what I need as well.

 

Thanks.
