Changing the timeout settings for the Business Space Ajax proxy

Heritage Process Portal uses a proxy component to connect to your Representational State Transfer (REST) services. If REST services are not responsive, update the connection timeout settings to your REST services, depending on the performance of the REST service servers.

About this task

If the REST service connections are timing out, update the following settings.

If you are using the Business Space environment that is shipped with your business process management product, the socket-timeout value is set to 30 seconds by default. Change it to an appropriate value for your situation.

If you are using Business Space with WebSphere Portal, the socket-timeout value is set to 10 seconds by default. Change it to an appropriate value for your situation (30 seconds, if you are using IBM® Business Automation Workflow administration widgets).
