Timeout on Client Proxy

[Former Member]

Hi

When running an ABAP client proxy in an ECC system I get the following error message:

HTTP Response Contains status code 500 with the description of Timeout.

I have increased the HTTP timeout parameters to according to the blog (Points 1 & 2):

/people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2006/06/08/xi-timeouts-timeouts-timeouts

but with no success. Can anyone please advise further ?.

A point to note that this does not happen with all messages only larger ones.

Thanks in advance ...

hi Andrzej,

but did you increase the http timeout on ERP too? or only on XI ?

do you see the timeout in XI or ERP

Hi Michal / RAJEEV

Thanks for the responses, the timeouts were increased by basis team on the R/3 backend and there was a restart following this.

RAJEEV could you tell me a little more or point me to where I might get info on sending the data in packets ?

Thanks

Michal .. I should say the ECC backend. The error is seen on the ECC backend when I run the Client proxy report.

RAJEEV I should have mentioned that I am on PI 7.0 SP14 .. not sure if message packaging is available on this version ..

hi,

I'd stay with my initial answer - it's http timeout parameter

maybe it was not done in a proper way by your basis

HTTP timeout is HTTP timeout - unless there is some more errors

which you did not see

BTW - about packages

I've never heard about anything like abap proxy packages

I don't think he meant any XI functionality

Thanks Michal

I have also see this note from SAP

Note 1161469 - XI runtime: Interpretation of timeouts

Do you think this might be related ?

Also, should the timeout be increased on both XI and ECC ?. I had instructed for an increase (to 10 mins) only on the ECC system.

Thanks

Hi,

try changing on XI too

and then check if still failes - if it does check after how many seconds

Right as always Mr Krawczyk .. increasing the timeout on the XI server as well as the R/3 server did the trick !! .. Merci / Thanks / Den Quy (This is my attempt at Polish) ..

Hi,

Since it is client proxy, you can define number of msg packets in a single msg as 100 so in a single msg only 100 data packets will go.........so in this way, your large msgs will come as several small msgs and they will not timeout.
