Set the Connection Timeout

If you frequently receive connection timeout errors, you might want to increase the connection
timeout value. The ODBC driver default for login timeout is 15 seconds. However, when a system
is heavily loaded, establishing an ODBC connection can take more than 60 seconds, and sometimes
HPDM connections can time out under these conditions. HPDM allows you to override the
connection timeout specified in the client data source:

Note these considerations before setting the connection timeout:

The default value for the connection timeout option is 180 seconds (3 minutes).

The range is an integer value from 0 to 2,147,483,647 seconds.

Setting a value of 0 means no timeout.

Setting the connection timeout in this way does not address timeouts that might occur on
query execution.

To set the connection timeout:

1.

Click the Options button (

) on the HPDM toolbar, or select Tools > Options to display

the Options dialog box.

2.

Click the plus sign (+) next to the General option to display the suboptions, and select
Framework

.

3.

In the right pane of the Options dialog box, type the number of seconds that you want to
specify for the connection timeout.

4.

Click [ OK ].
