processing timeout - Details

• 
  Key Concepts: 
  Processing timeout is a setting in the SAP Internet Communication Manager (ICM) that determines how long the ICM will wait for a response from an external system before it terminates the connection. It is used to prevent the ICM from waiting indefinitely for a response, which can cause performance issues. 
  
  How to use it: 
  The processing timeout setting can be found in the ICM configuration file. It is specified in milliseconds and can be adjusted to meet the needs of your system. The default value is 60000 milliseconds (60 seconds). 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  It is important to set the processing timeout value to an appropriate level for your system. If it is set too low, the ICM may terminate connections prematurely, resulting in errors. If it is set too high, the ICM may wait too long for a response, resulting in performance issues.
