Enabling and setting the timeout limits

On the Timeout Limits page, you can enable and adjust the timeout limits that force database activities to stop running. The timeout limits measure the elapsed processing time of an activity.

The timeout limits are safety mechanisms that provide time outs when unexpected concurrency-related deadlocks occur. By default, the timeout limits are disabled because the unexpected deadlocks are rare and the timeout limits can be otherwise disruptive.

You can turn the timeout limits on and off to use them when you need them.

Procedure

To enable and set the timeout limits:

  1. Select Yes to stop the activities that run for too long.
  2. Specify the timeout limit in minutes for the high-priority activities, the medium-priority activities, and the low-priority activities.
  3. Save a draft of the configuration.
