Procedure
- Optional:
On the services tier, run the following command to set the value of the HTTP header
X-Frame-Options
for Information Governance Catalog responses.
The default value is SAMEORIGIN
, which prevents cross-frame scripting
attacks.
- AIX®
Linux®
cd IS_install_path/ASBServer/bin
./iisAdmin.sh -set -key com.ibm.iis.gov.xFrameOptions -value <value>
- Windows
-
cd IS_install_path\ASBServer\bin
iisAdmin.bat -set -key com.ibm.iis.gov.xFrameOptions -value <value>
-
On the engine tier, edit the following file and add a sufficient timeout limit, for example
com.ibm.iis.http.soTimeout=600000
for 10 minutes (specified in milliseconds).
- AIX
Linux
- IS_install_path/ASBNode/eclipse/plugins/com.ibm.iis.client/iis.client.site.properties
- Windows
- IS_install_path\ASBNode\eclipse\plugins\com.ibm.iis.client\iis.client.site.properties
This
timeout parameter setting will enable you to import large files by using istool.
If the parameter is not set to a high enough value, the import fails with a
java.net.SocketTimeoutException: Read timed out
message. Increase the value if you
receive this message.
