APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • There can be cases where the crawler will fail to complete with
    a warning: java.net.SocketTimeoutException: Read timed out
    
    You cannot extend the value of timeout which poses a problem if
    the crawler requires more time to complete its tasks.
    

Local fix

Problem summary

  • USERS AFFECTED:
    WebSphere Commerce V7 administrators who need to provide the
    crawler more time to complete large tasks.
    
    PROBLEM ABSTRACT:
    The socket-timeout-value in the crawler is not configurable and
    is hardcoded.
    
    
    
    BUSINESS IMPACT:
    Crawlers cannot complete the assigned work so some of your store
    URLs might not get crawled.
    

Problem conclusion

  • Adds a modifiable timeout parameter.
    Instead of relying on the default hardcoded value which was set
    to 2000 ms, you can set a different value in the
    updated droidConfig.xml file.
    
    For example,
    <!-- Crawler HTTP parameter Socket Time-out value in MS -->
    <socketTimeout>20000</socketTimeout>
    

Temporary fix
