Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED:                                              *
  * Users of the RESTful policy functions                        *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:                                         *
  * The documentation for the RESTful policy functions lacks     *
  * usage examples on how to set the timeout properties.         *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  * NONE                                                         *
  ****************************************************************
  When declaring the ConnectionTimeout and ResponseTimeout
  properties for the RESTfulAPIGET, RESTfulAPIPATCH,
  RESTfulAPIPOST, RESTfulAPIPUT and RESTfulAPIDELETE policy
  functions, you must convert explicitly convert the timeout value
  into an integer.
  
  For example:
  
  config.ConnectionTimeout = Int(60000);
  
  config.ResponseTimeout = Int(60000);
  

Problem conclusion

• The product documentation has been updated with examples on how
  to apply timeout properties to the RESTful policy functions.
