Auto-Assignment timeout setting
The performance of Auto-Assignment can be affected by timeout settings configured for database queries, job scheduler tasks, and Auto-Assignment itself. For example, increasing the timeout for Auto-Assignment allows the optimization engine to spend more time to find the best possible schedule result. But, the time required to produce all the schedules may be increased beyond an acceptable time frame with only minimal improvements to schedule efficiency or coverage. Misconfiguration of the timeout settings can also prevent Auto-Assignment runs from completing.
These registry parameters control the relevant timeouts, and should be considered
together according to the customer's requirements:
| Registry Parameter | Function | Recommendation |
|---|---|---|
| AS_TIMEOUT_SECONDS | Determines the length of time that an Auto-Assignment process can run on the optimization engine. | Leave as default. The number of seconds can be reduced if schedules are taking too long to generate. |
