Timeout settings

You can determine how long the system tries to complete and action before generating a timeout error in the Timeout settings section of SDL Tridion Sites Content Manager configuration.

Procedure

  1. In the config\ subdirectory of %TRIDION_HOME%, open Tridion.ContentManager.config for editing.
  2. Navigate to the Timeout settings section.
  3. Configure the following settings:
    Timeout periodValue
    Milliseconds before a timeout error is generated when rendering (0 for no timeout)The time in milliseconds before rendering produces a timeout error (defaults to 120000).
    Seconds before a time out error is generated when establishing a connection to the databaseThe time in seconds before connecting to the database produces a timeout error (defaults to 30).
    Seconds before a time out error is generated when executing a long queryThe time in seconds before executing a long query produces a timeout error (defaults to 600).
    Seconds before a timeout error is generated when executing a queryThe time before executing a query produces a timeout error (defaults to 60).
  4. Restart IIS and COM+ to ensure updated settings are used—for performance reasons, the processes that use the MMC Snap-in settings cache them in memory.
