Web Service Timeout

[Former Member]

Hello experts,

I have created a web service based on a SAP function module. It's working fine, but for specific data the function requires to run for some minutes. When called within SAP GUI that's no problem, but when called via Web Service we get a timeout after about 1 minute.

How can I increase this maximum timeout value for Web Service calls?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Kind regards, Matthias

Hi,

Check parameters *icm/server_port_<xx> *

In my CRM system, I have setup :

icm/server_port_0 = PROT=HTTP,PORT=80,TIMEOUT=90,PROCTIMEOUT=600

The PROCTIMEOUT is the one interesting for you.

I have set up it to 600 seconds to get the same timeout as with the sapgui.

Check also rdisp/plugin_auto_logout but it is more useful for the webui than for web services.

Hi Jayapal,

yes I did solve this issue. Actually I had to set the timeout parameter as described above. But additionally our we had to set the timeout also on the client side. That did the trick for us.
