Configuring timeouts for the deployment manager

This task describes how to configure the HTTP timeouts for the deployment manager. You should use this task only if you are experiencing timeout errors.

Before you begin

Before you configure the deployment manager timeouts, be sure you have completed the following:

Why and when to perform this task

An HTTP timeout message might be received on the Multiple Virtual Storage (MVS) console, when an abend occurs in the servant region of the deployment manager as you invoke a long-duration activity through the administrative console. Two examples of such activities are the stopping of a very large application, or the starting of a cluster.

When this condition occurs, if you are logged into the administrative console, you will receive an HTTP error code and see that your session is no longer valid. Workload Management (WLM) starts another servant, but you have to wait for WLM and the administrative console to restart. In response to this situation, you might want to disable the timeouts in the deployment manager for HTTP transports.

Steps for this task

  1. Configure the HTTP transport properties for the deployment manager by adding custom properties.
    1. In the administrative console, click System Administration > Deployment Manager > HTTP Transports.
    2. Click the host value for the SSL Enabled = false transport and add the following custom properties and the indicated settings:
      • ConnectionIOTimeOut - Set the value of this property to zero seconds to disable this timeout.
      • ConnectionResponseTimeout - Set the value of this property to zero seconds to disable this timeout.
    3. Repeat the previous step for the SSL Enabled = true transport.
    4. Click OK and save your configuration.
  2. Restart the deployment manager to activate the changes in your configuration.

Results

You adjusted the timeouts in the deployment manager for the HTTP transports such that the timeout error does not reoccur.

What to do next

Invoke the activity that caused the HTTP timeout error message to display.
