Parameter
mdm/network_timeout
Short text
Sets the timeout value of the MDM ABAP API
Parameter Description
The parameter mdm/network_timeout is used to set the timeout of the MDM ABAP API. The MDM ABAP API communicates with MDM servers using TCP/IP protocols . The communication layer of the MDM ABAP API is located inside the WebAS kernel. Methods provided by this layer are called by the MDM ABAP API using kernel method calls. The MDM ABAP API kernel library uses the NI library of the WebAS for the TCP/IP communication. The read and write methods of the NI library need timeout values as parameters. There is a default value of 30000 milliseconds set. Certain actions executed on the MDM server by the MDM ABAP API may need a higher timeout value. If a timeout value is exceeded, the ABAP API will return a timeout exception. Using the parameter mdm/network_timeout the timeout value can be manipulated if necessary .
Warning
The communcation layer of the MDM ABAP API is bound to a work process. If the MDM server is not reachable, the work process which is used for the execution of the according MDM ABAP API program will be blocked until a timeout occurs.
