Configuring timeout period for saveset removal request

By default, the timeout period for saveset removal request is set to 600 seconds. When the Web Service Worker Process (nvwsworker) sends the delete request to Media Manager, it waits for 600 seconds. If the Media Manager is unable to complete the request within this period, the Web Service Worker Process times out and reports an error (“Failed to receive reply from Media Manager”). If you receive this error, change the SavesetRemoveTimeout setting in the webservice.cfg file.

To configure the timeout period for saveset removal request:

Open the file webservice.cfg in a text editor. You can find this file in the config directory under the NetVault installation directory.

In the [WebService] section, configure the value for the SavesetRemoveTimeout setting:

[WebService]

SavesetRemoveTimeout=<Value>

The default value for this setting is 600 seconds.

Save the file.
