Timeout Parameters

Timeout parameters determine how long the PPM Server waits before it times out. You can set timeout values for logon sessions, command runs, and workflows.

The timeout parameters, which are all defined in the server.conf file, are:

• CLIENT_TIMEOUT determines the interval (in minutes) at which PPM Workbench sessions send a message to inform the PPM Server that the client is active.

• DB_LOGIN_TIMEOUT determines the duration (in seconds) for the PPM Server to keep trying to log on to the database before reporting that the database is unavailable.

• DEFAULT_COMMAND_TIMEOUT determines the duration (in seconds) for the PPM Server to keep trying to run commands before timing out.

• PORTLET_EXEC_TIMEOUT determines the duration (in seconds) after which portlets time out.

• SEARCH_TIMEOUT determines the duration (in seconds) after which searches time out.
