Timeout Options for ICM and Web Dispatcher (SAP Library - SAP Web Dispatcher)
The keep-alive timeout should be set high enough so that new connections do not have to be
set up for requests arriving in quick succession, but low enough that the number of unused,
open TCP/IP connections is not unnecessarily high.
The time period is set in parameter icm/server_port_<xx> with the option <timeout> (in seconds).
The value -1 deactivates the timeout, the value 0 means that the value is determined by the parameter
icm/keep_alive_timeout.
Value Range
Unit
Default Setting
-1, 0, 10 - 32000
Seconds
30
In the case of requests, the time between receipt of the TCP packets
Depending on the type of network connection (internal, LAN, WAN, and so on), it may be best to increase
the parameter value. However, the value should not be less than 10 seconds. If, on the other hand, a value is
too high, the network connections will be very slow and the performance of the server will suffer.
Requests to the AS ABAP: Once the timeout interval has expired the user context in the work
process is not closed. The user context is closed only after the time interval specified in the profile
parameter rdisp/plugin_auto_logouthas expired. If
rdisp/plugin_auto_logout = 0is set, the context in the work process is not deleted.

Timeout Options for ICM and Web Dispatcher (SAP Library - SAP Web Dispatcher)
ICM as an HTTP client: If the ICM for the HTTP request concerned is used as a client, and forwards
an outbound request from the SAPNW AS, the processing timeout specifies the time the ICM waits
for until there is a response from the network. This can also be exceeded if there are long-running
applications in the network.
The value is specified with the parameter <proctimeout> in seconds. Value -1 deactivates the timeout.
Value Range
Unit
Default Setting
-1, 1 - 32000
Seconds
30
In systems where the standard timeout setting of 30 seconds for the keep-alive and
processing timeouts is not sufficient due to long-running applications, SAP recommends
that both the TIMEOUT and PROCTIMEOUT parameters are set for the services concerned
so that they can be configured independently of each other. The TIMEOUT value should not
be set unnecessarily high.
SAP recommends the following settings, for example: icm/server_port_0 =
PROT=HTTP,PORT=1080,TIMEOUT=30,PROCTIMEOUT=600
in order to allow a maximum processing time of 10 minutes.
SAP recommends that the parameters are set the same in the SAP Web dispatcher and in
the ICM.
