Answer:
SOME INSIGHT : TIMEOUT
If a timeout occurs when you start a BW Web application, this means that the following customizing parameters for the SAP Web Application Server are set too low:
a) Timeout because the maximum time for a HTTP connection setupwas exceeded: 'icm/conn_timeout' (the value is in milliseconds, the default is 5,000 milliseconds).
b) Timeout because the latent time of an existing HTTP connection was exceeded: 'icm/keep_alive_timeout' (the value is in seconds, the default is 60 seconds).

Answer:
Session time out can be set on trascn SICF under the BW service bex. Also the users can be redirected to custom pages in case of time outs by setting the necessary profile parameters. This has been discussed in this forum before.
Answer:
SICF-->Session Timeout
Session timeout for a stateful connection in the format hours:minutes:seconds.
You cannot set the timeout to be as long as you like, or else the SAP profile parameter rdisp/plugin_auto_logout (default setting 30 minutes) decides when the session context is terminated.
If the timeout is set as 00:00:00, the session timeout is inactive. The session is terminated after rdisp/plugin_auto_logout has run. This is default setting.

Answer:
We had the same problem at our site and was not able to find what was the problem (we tried to put 3600 seconds timeout !!!).
Until we found the problem. It was a problem with session cookies (between WAS and IE). We applied the no_session_cookie found in OSS note 619884 and hurry ! We are still testing if this solution has side-effects.
