Howto increase timeout of the server when generating BI report in portal?

[Former Member]

Hello,

We have a very large BI report which we are exporting to excel from the portal.

Because this report is very large it takes a lot of time to proccess it and normally after a while the user receives this type of error:

500 Connection timed out

-

---

Error: -5

Version: 7000

Component: ICM

Date/Time: Tue Apr 24 10:30:04 2007

Module: icxxthr.c

Line: 2646

Server: <Server_Name>

Error Tag: {-}

Detail: Connection to partner timed out after 900s

My question is: How can I increase this timeout?

Hi Roy,

Check for the parameter in th BI System. I suppose the current value in the system is 900 seconds from the error description. Try increasing to a more value.

rdisp/max_wprun_time = 900

Thanks,

Hi

Yes you can change the value of icm/keep_alive_timeout. A value of -1 deactivates the timeout. In this case, the ICM never

closes the connection.

Hi Srinivas,

Looks like what I need but where do I find these parameters the thread is talking about:

icm/conn_timeout

icm/keep_alive_timeout

icm/server_port_< n >

Hi roy,

choose Transaction SMICM Goto -> Parameters ->Display or Change. On the Change screen you can go directly to the RZ11 for the individual parameters.
