Configuring timeout period for client operations

You can modify the Web Service configuration settings to resolve any timeout errors that occur during client operations like browsing or opening the selection tree nodes. These settings can be configured from the NetVault Server Settings page.

To configure timeout period for client operations:
1
In the Navigation pane, click Change Settings.
2
On the NetVault Server Settings page, under Services, click Web Service. In the Web Service dialog box, configure the following setting.
 
Table 146. Web Service timeout settings for client operations
Setting
Description

Physical Client Short Timeout

The amount of time the Web Service waits for short duration operations, like requesting the plug-in list for a client.

The default timeout period is 30 seconds. You can change it to any value between 10 and 120 seconds.

Physical Client Medium Timeout

The amount of time the Web Service waits for medium duration operations, like removing a server (for example, Database Server).

The default timeout period is 60 seconds. You can change it to any value between 60 and 120 seconds.

Physical Client Long Timeout

The amount of time the Web Service waits for long duration operations, like populating the selection tree.

The default timeout period is 3,000 seconds. You can change it to any value between 120 and 60,000 seconds.

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:
1
Open the file webservice.cfg in a text editor. You can find this file in the config directory under the NetVault installation directory.
2
In the [WebService] section, configure the value for the SavesetRemoveTimeout setting:
[WebService]
SavesetRemoveTimeout=<Value>
The default value for this setting is 600 seconds.
3
Save the file.

About Auditor Daemon

The Auditor Daemon (nvavp) tracks and controls all user activities in NetVault. This process runs on the NetVault Server. The Auditor Daemon validates each user request, and depending on the assigned privileges, allows or denies a request. Audit log messages are stored in the NetVault Database.

By default, the Auditor Daemon logs every user activity regardless of whether the request is granted or denied. It automatically deletes the log messages that are older than 31 days. You can configure the Auditor Daemon to log only failed user requests. You can also modify the default settings to change the maximum age for log messages.

You can modify the Auditor Daemon settings from the Change Settings page.
