Explorer timeout

We have 4 large info spaces that regularly time out. I have altered the sqlsrv.sbo file ‘Query Timeout Available’ to FALSE.

Is there anything on the CMC (Explorer Servers) that I can tweak to decrease the likelihood of the Explorer views failing?

thanks

By default, the timeout of the Explorer web application is 20 minutes.

C:\SAP BusinessObjects\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\warfiles\webapps\explorer\WEB-INF\web.xml

20

We increase this value to 60 and make a similar change for the BOE application, too (BI Launch Pad and CMC).

Be sure to put the “original” and your modified web.xml in a safe place (off the server) and remember that most patches will overwrite this file (so you’ll have to put the timeout change in again).
