• Key Concepts: 
  Network timeout is a setting in the SAP Internet Communication Manager (ICM) component that determines how long a connection attempt should wait for a response before timing out. It is used to control the amount of time a connection attempt will wait for a response from the server before it is terminated. 
  
  How to use it: 
  The network timeout setting can be adjusted in the ICM configuration file. The default value is 30 seconds, but this can be changed depending on the needs of the system. The setting can also be adjusted on a per-connection basis, allowing for more granular control over connection timeouts. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  It is important to set the network timeout value appropriately, as too low of a value can cause connections to time out prematurely, while too high of a value can cause unnecessary delays in connection attempts. It is also important to monitor the network timeout setting regularly, as changes in system load or other factors may require adjustments to the setting.
