To prevent large data sets from failing to publish due to time-out errors, edit the registry settings on the workstations where publish operations will originate to allow a longer length of time before the process times out.
Applications using the .Net version of the SmartPlant Client will use the following setting:
-
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Intergraph\Intergraph SmartPlant Client.NET\FileUploadTimeOutSeconds
If no value is specified for these settings, the system will use a default value of 120 (seconds).
Modify the SPF Server Request Timeout
This procedure allows you to set the maximum quantity of seconds that the SmartPlant Client waits for a reply from the SmartPlant Foundation server after sending a request. If SmartPlant Foundation does not reply to the request before the specified time expires, the authoring tool reports an error.
-
Open the authoring tool's installation folder.
You must exit the authoring tool before modifying the timeout value.
-
Open the exe.config file for the authoring tool for editing in a text editor, such as Notepad.
-
Change the timeout value by adding or modifying the following line in the <appSettings> section of <configuration>.
<add key="SPFServerRequestTimeoutSeconds" value="60" />
-
Save the change, and close the text editor
The modified timeout value takes effect the next time you open the authoring tool.
