Question
What is SESSION_GUESS exception?
Answer
Session Guess is used for long running sessions which have been closed but not by the user or application. SESSION_GUESS is an exception that indicates the internal sniffer process of 'session guessing' has been attempted.
How it is used:
- An active session will have GDM_SESSION.INACTIVE_FLAG = 0
- When a long running session has no activity for a period of time the sniffer will close the session and set the GDM_SESSION.INACTIVE_FLAG to '-1' to free resources.
- When a session with GDM_SESSION.INACTIVE_FLAG = -1 exceeds the Session Inference Max inactive period (Setup > Tools and Views > Session Inference), the session will be closed and GDM_SESSION.INACTIVE_FLAG = -1 will be set to '2'.
- Sessions marked with GDM_SESSION.INACTIVE_FLAG = 2 will be aggregated and it will appear as a count in the Sessions Guessed column of Buffer Usage.
