Increasing timeout in SAP API Management

[former_member766496]

Hi SAP Community, We are developing an API proxy above a SAP Successfactors to pull data out of SuccessFactors.

Due to the huge load of data, SuccessFactors is taking more than 55 seconds to respond. I would like to check if there is a way to increase the timeout settings in the proxy level or at the platform level?

Thank you.

Hi!

Yes, this is possible by using endpoint properties. Check out apigee documentation.

I think you're looking for "keepalive.timeout.millis" and "connect.timeout.millis"

Regards,

Cedric

Thanks Cedric, Should I add them in proxy endpoint?

You can find the difference between TargetEndpoint and ProxyEndpoint as well inside the linked documentation. So you can differ, what suits you more 🙂

thanks alot. One last question, there is no documentation on this from SAP right. Reason being: I would like to understand till how long can i extend it till. In Apigee there is the virtual host settings and message processor settings too.

Yes, you're right. The documentation from SAP is limited. But I've got the feeling they are trying to collect necessary things - fingers-crossed ,-)

Check out this link to SAP Documentation and find the parameters too.
