Application and session (memory) variables are enabled at installation. If you disable these variables using the Memory Variables page, they cannot be used in any ColdFusion application.
You can use this page to specify maximum and default time-out values for session and application variables.
Application variables time out at the expiration of one of the following:
The smaller of either the Application Variables Maximum Timeout value or the value of the applicationTimeout attribute of the cfapplication tag, if specified.
If no applicationTimeout attribute is set, the default time-out value of the Application Variable.
Enable or disable memory variables. Optionally enter a number in each text box to specify days, hours, minutes, and seconds allowed for maximum and default time-out periods.
