Before preparing to work with large amount of data, based on the size of the data it is recommended to configure the LicenseTimeoutSeconds property under Site Settings node in HxGN SDx Server Manager. This setting will prevent the license token to timeout, thereby allowing the session to retain. If you are using SDx deployed in Smart Cloud, this must be done for you by the Smart Cloud Team.
