Set the Environment System Timeout

By default, the Environment Manager assumes that an application is available for termination if it has not started after 120 seconds. For most applications associated with the Batch System, the timeout value of 120 seconds is sufficient. However, run-time applications such as IBCli sometimes require a longer period of time on larger systems to properly start. The length of time required varies depending on your particular application and the number of tags associated with IBCli. Unless you are experiencing a conflict as a result of an insufficient timeout, we recommended that you do not change the default value.

Note: Changing the Timeout value has a global effect; that is, Environment Display waits the specified amount of time before it reports any application that is available for termination.

To change the Environment System timeout

1. Open the Control Panel.

2. Double-click the System icon.

   The System Properties dialog box appears.

3. Click the Environment tab.

4. In the System Variables list, add a variable named TIMEOUT, and type the required Value (integer value in seconds).

5. Click Set and then click OK.

6. To enable the change of the Timeout value, you must shut down and restart Windows.
