Timeout Settings

Timeout settings give the users ability to set a timeout as part of every operator. If the operator has not finished by the specified time defined in the Timeout settings, the execution takes a timeout exit port. Users still retain the choice to end the execution of the operator and take the timeout path or let the operator continue with the execution.

Timeout settings have the following properties:

No Timeout

Specifies that there is no timeout set for the operator (enabled by default).

To specify a timeout value, clear the No Timeout check-box.

Type

Specifies the type of timeout. Select one of the following timeout types.
