The Console Server uses utility programs to perform tasks such as creating a system, loading an IDT, and running the batch search client. Some of these processes allow environment variables to control or alter their behavior. The utility programs inherit the server’s environment variables.
Time period for a client session to remain idle before the server cancels the session. The default timeout period is 86400 seconds.
Connection
Time period for a client to wait before an attempt to establish a connection to the server is terminated. The default timeout period is 15 seconds.
Write
Time period to wait for a write or send operation to complete successfully. The default timeout period is 7200 seconds.
Read
Time period to wait for a read or receive operation to complete successfully. The default timeout period is 7200 seconds.
If you configure the SSA_SOCKET_TIMEOUTS variable, you must specify the timeout periods for all the operations. For example,
SSA_SOCKET_TIMEOUTS=86400,15,7200,7200
SSATEMP
Some Identity Resolution programs and scripts require output to be written to a temporary directory. The location of this directory is controlled by the
SSATEMP
variable. The default location of this directory is
$HOME/tmp
in UNIX and
%TEMP%
in Windows installations. It is recommended that a separate location is created for each user (each instance or running servers). This directory must have write and execute permissions.
SSA_WSTIMEOUT
Specifies the timeout periods as a comma-separated list for the XML Search Server. The SSA_WSTIMEOUT environment variable uses the following format:
SSA_WSTIMEOUT=<Idle>,<Connection>,<Write>,<Read>
Configure the following parameters:
Idle
Time period for a client session to remain idle before the server cancels the session. The default timeout period is 86400 seconds. If you want to use the default timeout period, set the value as 0.
Connection
Time period for a client to wait before an attempt to establish a connection to the server is terminated. The default timeout period is 15 seconds. If you want to use the default timeout period, set the value as 0.
Write
Time period to wait for a write or send operation to complete successfully. The default timeout period is 7200 seconds. If you want to use the default timeout period, set the value as 0.
Read
Time period to wait for a read or receive operation to complete successfully. The default timeout period is 7200 seconds. If you want to use the default timeout period, set the value as 0.
If you configure the SSA_WSTIMEOUT variable, you must specify the timeout periods for all the operations. For example,
SSA_WSTIMEOUT=1200,0,0,0
If you configure both the SSA_SOCKET_TIMEOUTS and SSA_WSTIMEOUT environment variables, the SSA_WSTIMEOUT variable takes precedence over the SSA_SOCKET_TIMEOUTS variable for the XML Search Server.
