Diagnosing The Problem

Error 'java.net.SocketTimeoutException: Read timed out' is contained within the RMI server log when processing a large file using IBM WebSphere Transformation Extender 8.x with the RMI server.

Resolving The Problem

Set the parameter rmi.client.timeout

java -Drmi.client.timeout=60 <classname> represents existing command tokens for the program.

-Drmi.client.timeout=60. This should set to be the same.

The value of 60 is just an example.

-D specifies the command token for Java.
