Recommended current value for HTTP_TIMEOUT

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

I have created synchronous Interface proxy-jdbc and it will be required to set HTTP_TIMEOUT parameter at ECC side.

i.e sxmb_adm -> Integration Engine COnfiguration -> Specific Configuration -> Runtime parameter HTTP_TIMEOUT

what is the recommened current value and default value for this parameter in production ECC side.

Your help will be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Tej

Hi Tej,

See the help for HTTP_TIMEOUT parameter for details:

Parameter  HTTP_TIMEOUT
Meaning
Specifies the timeout for HTTP connections (time between two data packages at line level). This value overrides the system profile parameter icm/server_port_n (for example, icm/server_port_0 : PROT=HTTP, PORT=50044, TIMEOUT=900). If you do not set the parameter HTTP_TIMEOUT or if you set the parameter to 0, then the setting for the system profile parameter is applied.
Possible Values
n Seconds, where n is a whole number.

Hope this helps,

Hi Greg,

Thank you for your reply.

If I set current value as 10000 and default value as 0 any impact on production ECC system?. because same values maintained in Quality.

Your help will be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

it should be the same as in TEST as tests were done on test env

Dear Tej,

Actually, the default value 0 means (as of the parameter description):

if you set the parameter to 0, then the setting for the system profile parameter is applied

and the default value for system profile parameter is 900 I think. Still, I think 10 000 seconds = almost 3 hours is quite a lot for an HTTP timeout...

And definitely I agree with Michal that you should align those settings between different environments (dev, test and production).

Hope this helps,

Greg

IMHO, HTTP_TIMEOUT should be set to some reasonable time like 3 mins or 5 mins max. Setting 300 secs which is equivalent to 5 mins is desired one. And you have to make sure the same settings across all environments.

Hi Greg,

Thank you again.

while testing the proxy-jdbc scenario, I got http timeout error at ECC side. As per sdn blogs I created an entry in Dev, Qty environments with above values for http_timeout parameter and Interface worked. If I'm not use http_timeout parameter, by default system will take 900sec (15min). I need suggestions whether I'll go with current value as 10000 or less and default value 900.
