By default, the ControlPoint server timeout value is set to 60 minutes, or 3600 seconds. (The normal browser timeout value is 1.5 minutes.) This value represents the amount of time that the browser will wait for an action or analysis to complete on the server before issuing the following message:
An action or analysis you requested is taking longer than expected. If you requested an analysis, try changing the option to use data from the cache, or narrow the scope of the analysis. If Discovery was running at the time you made your request, try again after Discovery completes.
The default value should be sufficient in most cases. To avoid his issue, administrators can:
·narrow the scope of their action or analysis (in the case of some analyses, you can also use cached instead of real-time data)
·if the Discovery process is running, wait for it to complete.
·perform the action or analysis on a scheduled basis.
ControlPoint Application Administrators can modify server timeout by changing the Value of the ControlPoint Setting Number of Seconds After Which Browser Reports Server Timeout.
For example:
·If you are managing a very large farm and you want to be able to perform very large, time consuming actions and analyses, you may want to increase this value.
NOTE: The size of a search or analysis is also limited by the maximum number of line items that can be displayed in results. See Maximum Line Items in Real-time Reports (REPCAP).
·If you are managing a smaller farm and/or would like to have a server timeout reported more quickly, you can decrease this value.
NOTE: Remember that this value is specified in seconds.
