CAUSE:
When a user session is created with the Strategy Intelligence Server, one of the possible session flags is whether the users history list messages must be deleted on logout of the user session. The session can also be set to only delete history list messages that have been read at logout, or no deletion at all. This behaviour is controlled by the preferences in Strategy Web (as shown above), and users can change their preferences to control the action they would like to take.
When a custom external security module is used for user log on, every time the user session is created explicitly, specific user and project level preferences have to be set directly on the new session object as session flags or through public methods. These preferences will not be read from User or Project level preferences as shown above.
ACTION:
To set the 'Remove the finished job from the History List' to 'No', the session flags on WebIServerSession object could be set with the appropriate flags prior to creating a new session in the following manner:
setSessionFlags(getSessionFlags() & ~EnumDSSXMLSessionFlags.DssXmlSessionDeleteReadMsgsOnClose);
For more information on External Security Modules, reference the online MSDZ.
