You Asked

We have an Oracle Forms / Database application and were asked to limit User's maximum online time to 15 minutes.
Following this, we set the profiles' CONNECT_TIME to 15 - this works well.

How is it possible to reset this if user does any action on frontend?

Maybee v$session.seconds_in_wait can help?

Thanks in advance
Helmut

This sounds like you don't want 15mins connection time but 15 mins idle time (ie, they did not use the application)

For that, you can use the IDLE_TIME on their profile
