Parameter
mdm/network_timeout

Short text
Sets the timeout value of the MDM ABAP APIThe parameter mdm/network_timeout is used to set the timeout of theMDM 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 theWebAS kernel. Methods provided by this layer are called by the MDMABAP API using kernel method calls. The MDM ABAP API kernel libraryuses the NI library of the WebAS for the TCP/IP communication. Theread and write methods of the NI library need timeout values asparameters. There is a default value of 30000 milliseconds set.Certain actions executed on the MDM server by the MDM ABAP API mayneed a higher timeout value. If a timeout value is exceeded, the ABAPAPI will return a timeout exception. Using the parametermdm/network_timeout the timeout value can be manipulated if necessary.
Warning
The communcation layer of the MDM ABAP API is bound to awork process. If the MDM server is not reachable, the work processwhich is used for the execution of the according MDM ABAP API programwill be blocked until a timeout occurs.
