Advanced settings

For each operation that is used in a web service connection point, you can set a time-out. When invoking the web service operation, the ION Service waits for a response. If no response is received in the specified time-out interval, the web service invocation is regarded as failed.

To set the time-out:

  1. In the Documents tab of the web service connection point, select the operation for which the time-out must be set.
  2. Specify the value for the Web Service Operation Time-out.
    Specify a high value if the web service operation is time-consuming, for example because much data is processed. If the time-out is too low, the same data can be offered again later for processing.

    Specify a low value if the web service operation is fast, to avoid long waiting times in case of failure.

    What if a time-out happens:

    • In the 'retrieve data from a web service' scenario, an error message is logged. Next time a new try is done based on the schedule.
    • In the other scenarios, an incoming BOD is being processed. A Confirm BOD is created for the incoming BOD and ION continues processing the next incoming message.
