Workspace-server processes that are generated by SAS Studio might be orphaned if a user exits a SAS Studio session in an unsupported manner.  

The supported method of exiting SAS Studio is by using the Sign Out button. Methods that can create orphaned processes are closing the browser tab without signing out or closing the browser window directly.

SAS Studio should clean up any orphaned processes based on the value of the HTTP session time-out interval, which is set in the web.xml file for the application server.

For the SAS^® Studio Enterprise Edition, the file is in this location: 

   SAS-configuration-directory/Lev1/Web/WebAppServer/SASServer2_1/conf/

For the SAS^® Studio Basic Edition, the file is in this location:

   SAS-configuration-directory/studioconfig/appserver/studio/conf/

In the web.xml file, the time-out interval setting is in this section:

As shown here, the default setting is 30 minutes.
