Web service time out

[Former Member]

Hi,

We are developing a SUP 2.1.3 application that must connect to many web services.

One of those web services returns a big amount of data and because of that takes a long time to send the response.

That is causing a time out error during the synchronization.

Is there any way to change the time out for the web service connection?

Can we change this configuration?

I checked the docs and it seems there is no configurable timeout documented.

Generally speaking, if your webservice is timing out, this type of data access method seems unsuited for the amount of data you are pulling. Maybe consider some different type of data access, maybe via JDBC or DCN?

Oh, and in SMP 2.2 a Server API around data source connection creation was added. Take a look here. 

If you do not have a tendency for suicidal actions, you could try to investigate if you can find some time out setting in the SMP internal configuration files. Maybe the API just exposes settings that already exist.

Hi Dirk,

Thanks for the answer.

We could not find anything in the documentation too.

Now we are searching for alternatives to make the web service better and faster.

Thanks.
