Help for Timeouts

Use this form to define the maximum amount of time you want your server to spend performing various functions. The time limits prevent processes from becoming hung for indefinite periods of time.

Timeout Values

The server has a default value for each function's timeout setting. The defaults are appropriate for handling most requests, but you may choose to change them because of your specific needs.

To change timeout values:

1. Enter new values in the timeout fields you want to change. Specify a time using any combination of hours, mins (minutes), and secs (seconds).

   Examples of valid timeout values:
   15 mins
1 hour 30 mins
2 mins 45 secs

   The timeout fields are:

• Time to wait for a request from the client after it has connected to the server - if a client connects to the server and then does not send a request within the amount of time you specify in this field, the server drops the connection.
• Maximum time allowed for the server to send a response to the client - if the server takes longer to send a response than the amount of time you specify in this field, the server drops the connection to the client.
• Maximum time allowed for the server to complete a request - if the server is requested to start a program and the program runs longer than the amount of time you specify in this field, the server stops the program.
2. If you want to use the changes you make to the form, select the Apply button. If you want to go back to the values that were on the form before you made changes, select the Reset button.
