  • 1.  Increase Service Flow Timeout on BAW

    Posted Mon September 09, 2024 10:05 AM

    Hi All,

    Because of some require requirements in a use case, we have a Service Flow inside a Client Side HS which sometimes runs in excess of 8-9 minutes. While the delay is acceptable to users, sometimes when the data load is high, the service flow is timing out. 

    We tried calling it directly in the flow of Human Service, using Service call UI toolkit coach view as well as from a custom coach view making an AJAX call. Turns out the problem is not with UI thread timing out but the service flow executor worker thread itself, at least it looks like that.

    Is there a timeout value or something which can be increased to resolve this? The service is made up of multiple services and while we can think of decoupling them, the pass couple of IndexedMap objects between them, which when marshalled/un-marshalled on the UI layer become kinda corrupt.

    Any suggestions?

    Hi Sumit,

    I think what you are looking for is here - https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/bpm/8.6.0?topic=properties-configuring-transaction-timeouts

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks!

    Hi Atanu,

    Thanks for the reply. I also stumbled across that link but I wanted to be sure that it is indeed the right option before doing it as it will be config change activity and will be recorded as a ServiceNow ticket. 

    Are you fairly confident on this? If yes, I will go ahead and create a ticket to get this done in a lower environment.

    Hi Sumit,

    I did it a while ago, probably in v8.5.5 or v8.5.7, but I can't remember exactly.

    It's worth trying in lower environments, though. You can always check with IBM support for confirmation.

    Thanks!
