how to prevent session frequent logout

Recently learnt how to prevent session logout.
Navigation Path:
System Administration->Profile->System
Query on Username and the Profile "ICX:Session Timeout"
ICX:Session Timeout
Use this profile option to enforce an inactivity time–out. If a user
performs no Oracle Applications operation for a time period longer than
the time–out value (specified in minutes), the user’s session is disabled.
If this profile option to 0 or NULL, then user sessions will never time out
due to inactivity

Fear of Flying - who me?

I always used to wonder about those who have "Fear f flying" (should it be termed Flying-challenged?); Thank God, I do not seem to exhibit any.
Well, sitting on the tarmac waiting for the plane to take-off, back to Newark, NJ, I seemed to invariably fall-asleep - usually I will wake up when we are airborne and stewardess will be out serving drink. However, more often than not, I will wake up only to find that we have probably moved 100 yards;
many times, the wait will be for a hour or 2! Cann't get out of the Plane. Captain will announce Weather problem; gusty winds! Yeah right!

home, travel, work, home...

Just got back home. Think I am one of those travel-challenged!
Been travelling to Atlanta, GA for the last few weeks; I do look forward to those 2 days or so when I can stay home and spend sometime with my kids.
At home the routine falls in... Cleaning, groceries, kids activities, going out for a dinner/movie(? where is time) Whew! oh, boy, time to catch my next flight.

REP-1219 error;object; has no size

Most of the times you face the error, you generally delete the object.
This error occurs when you create a report in bitmap mode and run it as a character report.

Solution is as below:
Open reports builder and the rdf file which is giving error

1. Go to FILE -> ADMINISTRATION -> CONVERT
2. A dialog box will popup.
3. In OPTIONS tab, select DESTINATION UNIT as CHARACTER, and select OVERWRITE as NEWNAME
4. Then in CONVERSION tab select the following
Document Type : Report
Source Type : rdf
Source : It is the file for which you are getting error
Destination Type : rdf
Destination : give the location and filename for the destination file
3. Then click on OK
Reopen the rdf file, the error is no longer reported.
