The report completed and returned to browser. The user left that browser window after report completion and did something else in another application in another window. The former browser window, left inactive, timed out by the browser. Even with deferred report, if the user left the browser, that browser window will still time out

EXPIRE_REPORTS
The time when reports generated by the WebFOCUS Reporting Server are to be re-executed.
The expiration time is set in seconds, and the default setting is 300 seconds.

You can view a previously executed report on the browser without re-executing its request.
If the request for a report you are running is the same as the one executed previously (within 300 seconds), then the browser displays the previously executed report stored in the cache when you use the browser's Back, Reload, or Refresh button.

You can set EXPIRE_REPORTS in the following ways:

To ensure that the reports are re-executed, set EXPIRE_REPORTS to 1 second.
To view the browser's cached output without using the browser's Back, Reload, or Refresh button, set EXPIRE_REPORTS to a large number, such as 4,000,000,000 seconds.
