Script Time Out in E-Tester

I have recorded a script and can go to the website and complete the event with no problems. When I playback the same script in e-tester, it will load the physical page but will not completely load it so it finally will timeout and fail to continue. I have tried just about everything. Anythoughts?

Thank you for your help. If at all possible maybe you could provide me
some information on the snapshot scenario. Here is a little more detail
on what is happening.
I am on a page and I click next to go to the next page and a "Please
Wait while we process your request page" comes up (but is never recorded
as a separate page). When the following page loads I can continue on
like normal.
On playback, it clicks next, I see the Please Wait page, then the
following page shows up on the screen but it will never fully load and
will eventually timeout even though I see the page on the screen that it
is suppose to stop at. Do you think the please wait page may be causing
an issue? I have tried to different events and it does the same thing on
each event.
Thanks

Script Time out issue

I see lots of comments about how to set the script Timeout to greater then 15 seconds.
They say to go to fla and hit ctrl shift f12. I can not even figure out what fla is. I have searched and searched.
I know I do not have an infinite loop, the app runs when the data is smaller. This only started happening when I moved to using something like 40k records. So, with that said, would someone please explain to me how to exend the script timeout like I was a forth grader?

That’s for Flash, not Flex. For Flex, you can use the scriptTimeLimit property on the Application tag, but it already defaults to the maximum (60 seconds).
The FlashPlayer stops running code after that time limit, even if your code would have finished a fraction of a second later. This means that heavy processing may not complete. You may have to use pseudo-threading to guarantee completion. See: http://blogs.adobe.com/aharui/2008/01/threads_in_actionscript_3.html
Don’t forget that, even though it might take 30 seconds on your computer, if the user’s computer is slower or busy that 30 seconds can grow enough to time out.

And I am not sure why. any help?

Most of these apps I don't have, so I can't run the script. Generally though, to avoid a timeout error, you should use a "with timeout of" control statement.
<pre class="jive-pre">with timeout of ### seconds
-- your calls taking a long time here
end timeout</pre>
You can use any number between "0" and "8947848" to indicate the number of seconds to wait before displaying a timeout error, or you can use "-1" to signify no timeout.

Session Time out or script Time out

Hi Guys,
Can someone advise me here.
I have a form that asks several questions, Im using DW and an
access database, this all works....BUT
Some users seem to take a long time to fill in the form and
they get an error and i think its as their session has timed out..
When I used DW to make my log in page it added
Server.ScriptTimeout = 90
Is this the code i need to adapt to lengthen time for the
user?
Any support is very welcome.
Thanks

Thank you I will give it a go,
I wasnt sure if I was using 'session script timeout 'if i
could use 'session timeout' too.
Is there any particualr place on my page I should use the
'session timeout'.?
Say I have it on the log in page....when the user goes to my
form to fill it in will I also need to add the session timeout on
the forms page to, or will it be enough to have set this when
logging in?
Thanks again

Script Time out error in classic asp

Hi ,
In classic asp , i am using Stored procedure to fetch the result from oracle database . my database have 85Lakhs records . approx. 30 records are being inserted into the table. at the same time some users trying to fetch the data from same table.now i am getting script timeout error after long wait .it was an intermittent issue (sometimes it is working and sometimes it is not working). i thought it was because of performance issue with stored procedures . but in oracle Readers cannot block writers and Writers cannot block readers.so no issues with database side.i couldn't replicate the issue . i am wondering what will be the rootcause for this issue. is there anything i need to modify with the script side.by increasing the timeout property is the only solution?i tried to modify the timeout property to 180 seconds in classic asp page. please give your valuable suggestion.
Thanks.

Hi,
How big is your EJB application? i.e. how many EJBs do you have?
Would you please try to deploy your application using the command line tool "asadmin" and see if it is also hanging? This will help us to tell if the deployment process that is hanging or the deploytool itself that is hanging. The "asadmin" tool is located under $INSTALL_HOME/bin.
Thanks,

Diagnosctic and Recovery Task Time Out

Hello,
I'am creating a recovery task witch wil do a shutdown of my envirement when the temperature in the datacenter is above 30 degrees Celcius. When I did a test a run found out that the timeout option in the Recovery task pane isn't working.
My settings are:
Timeout Setting in the Diagnostic and Recovery Properties
The VBS script is Run to start a Powershell Script:
Option Explicit
Dim objShell
Set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
objShell.run "powershell -noexit -file D:\Scripts\testscript.ps1",4,true
The Powershell Script that is called by the VBS Script. This is not the powerdown Script but a Timeout Test Script
import-Module "d:\scripts\Functions\Currenttime.ps1"
$Logfile = "D:\Log\Timeouttest.ps1.$logfile.txt"

do {
$Value++
if ($Value -eq 1)

else

sleep 30 #1800
while (
$Value -ne 21
Stop-Transcript > $null
The Function that is imported in the powershell Script.
Function CurrentTime
(get-date).toString('yyyy.MM.dd hh.mm.ss')
When I generate the a alert and the Recovery task is started the scripts times out after 5 minuters. When I run the same scripts whitout System Center Operations Manager then everything works.
Hope someone can help me

Help -- Script timing out during http event listener

So, I have created an HTTPService to retrieve an XML file. The event listener is basically just parsing that XML file and doing another necessary calculation. Unfortunately, the script times out because while small in size, there's a lot of data in it. I know there's a way to override this with the compiler, but this doesn't seem like a smart thing to do. What are other solutions?
I need the XML data to be loaded when the Flash player loads because it basically displays graph data that people need to be able to see as soon as the page finishes loading.
Thanks so much for you input. I didn't anticipate this timeout problem!

I changed my code to use the URLLoader(), not that it would resolve the problem, but maybe it's the preferred way to do this?
Project Overview (that's relevant):
The XML data is a bunch of numbers that I need to display on a graph as soon as the page is loaded. So, it must be parsed and obviously remapped to the height of the panel.
The mostly relevant code:
// openXML() is being called by my controller, which is called by my application's initialize
public function openXML():void {
            var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
            loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loadXML);
            loader.load(new URLRequest(xmlURL));
private function loadXML(evt:Event):void {
            trace("start");
            var xml:XML = new XML(evt.target.data);
            // setup all <R> (Reading) tags as an xml list
            xmlList = xml.R;
            for (var i:int=0;i<xmlList.length();i++) {
                value[i]=xmlList.v[i];
            // each value will then need to be remapped to fit the panel
            // call the gsrController -- which will in turn draw all this stuff
So the problem is, I'm new to Flex, and the lack of multithreading seems to be hurting me? I would LOVE for a way for the openXML() file to be able to return the xmlList so that I can take all of that logic OUT of that event listener, which is the way it should be. But how could I do that? I don't think that I can tell openXML() to wait on that event listener before it returns anything - haha.
When I was testing this stuff a few days ago, everything was working perfectly, it was when I used data that corresponded to 40 minutes worth of video that it became a problem!
(And to provide a better overview of what I'm doing, the XML data is for drawing this line that the video player ticker is syncing up with as the video plays......)

LED notification stops by screen lock time out

I found some problem about LED notification. It stops by screen lock time out. My test procedure :- - Screen off by push the top button - Send test e-mail from laptop to my Q10, LED notification will flashing while now is black screen - Call in by another phone then screen will shown at the wall paper - Then after "screen lock time out", screen become dark and now LED flashing will stop So, I can not know the e-mail come in if I leave my phone for a while. Please help

I don't have a PIN lock set up, but still LED notifications for missed calls don't work on my Pre (GSM, o2 Germany), not even after waking up the screen. At least if I only have one missed call. Strangely enough, as soon as I have a second missed call, the LED starts to blink.
My guess is it has to do with the way the phone notifies about missed calls. With only one missed call I don't see a normal notification at the bottom of the screen, but a question dialog with two buttons "call back" and "close". Maybe the phone doesn't treat this as a real notification which would trigger the LED.
As soon as a second call comes in and is not answered, the first missed call notification becomes a real one-line notification at the bottom and the second call gets this question dialog, so maybe this is what triggers the LED notification. But I'm just guessing.
Anyway, this is really annoying. I can't understand why things like these are not found and fixed during testing of the update, this is pretty basic stuff, not any extraordinary user behavior.

Oracle application testing: Time out on starting navigation

Hi to all,
I am experiencing error when i run playback on my script using functional testing web application. it says "time out on startign navigation" it shows only 120 seconds and fail.
I try changing the following values under options:
playback options->general->timeout on page 1500 seconds value
playback options->script->maximum delay 1500 seconds value
playback options->event playback->maximum 1500 seconds value
i tried restarting my pc. but it still failed after 120seconds. Any help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Hanson

Hi Avinnash,
Your time out setting may be very short.You may want to check your timeout Options (set it at 120 seconds) .
Options===> Current Script Options==> Playback==> General.
Hope it help.

USB Mass storage device CHAOS test time out.

OS Platform: Windows v6.3 x86
The RunTest time out fails, but no log files are generated. HCK manager show process

The test item keep running WDTF_SIMPLE_IO test until test timeout.
Could anyone tell me the root cause and how to fix it?
Thanks.

It could be because of the mini's disk problem. Have you dropped it or shaken it recently?
Try restoring your iPod mini via iTunes 7 (download the latest, 7.0.2). If it doesn't work, and if it still under warrantry, try replacing your device.

I'm using Entourage 2008 v 12.3.5 and lost ability to SEND. Tried many small email tests. Server continues to leave time out message. "An operation on the server timed out. The server may be down, overloaded, or there may be too much net traffic.

I'm using Entourage 2008 v 12.3.5 and lost ability to SEND. Tried many small email tests. Server continues to leave time out message. "An operation on the server timed out. The server may be down, overloaded, or there may be too much net traffic." Comcast tells me server is not down all other network activity is fine. WHat's up with this?

Starting earlier today, this also became my problem - can receive but not send in Entourage. The account settings are correct in Entourage - I even created a new account. My Mac running 10.7.5 won't read the original Office : MAC 2008 disk, so I can't do a fix or reinstall from the disk.
This is not an issue if I log onto the Comcast site.
And so, I started using Mail but, unlike Entourage, Mail won't import my Entourage info.
Argh... :-(

OpenScript- assertAttribute method never times out for DOMObject (web test)

Hi all,
Whenever I have an assertAttribute test on a web.button, web.link, web.textBox, any specific object type, the test works as expected, and fails as expected when the object isn't available...
However, when I'm trying to do a similar test on a div element, I have tried both DOMObject and DOMElement (web.element and web.object), and in either case, if the object doesn't exist when the test gets there, the assertAttribute call will just hang FOREVER, even though the global timeout value is set to 5 seconds. :-\ Two examples:
For a button, this will time out in 5 seconds and fail the test if the button isn't available:
web.button("{{obj.Navigation.btnSearch}}").assertAttribute("Button text", "value", "Search", TestOperator.StringExact);
But for a div, this will just wait forever:
web.object("{{obj.Navigation.lblWelcome}}").assertAttribute("Welcome message", "innerText", "Welcome {{username}}", TestOperator.StringExact);
Any ideas? I can work-around by testing if it's existing first, then calling assertAttribute next, but to me, it feels like a minor bug in OpenScript on these object types...

I commented out the export line (I don't have CS3, only an old version of CS) and it seems to work fine. the problem, then, is with the export line, and (at a guess) the issue might be the odd way you've specified the document. instead of using the export command in a document tell block, try 'export current document in live_folder as...' and see if that helps.

CS3 / CS4 connection to remote/testing servers times out.

Hello,
I have 2 questions:
1. Can DreamWeaver be configured to bind once for multiple ldap authentication transactions?
2. Can DreamWeaver be configured to increase it's timeout when connecting to remote/testing servers?
Details below ...
============
Setup
Client: DW CS3/4 clients on WIN XP
Server: Suse Linux 2.6 (SP3)
Protocol: WebDAV via apache 2.2, LDAP authentication
Problem description
Dreamweaver Clients fail to connect to remote/testing servers during peak usage hours.
Analysis
Connecting to the remote/testing servers requires approximately 900 database transactions to test user privileges for content, simplified as the following:
900 x [ bind + lookup + unbind ]
During peak hours, this process can sometimes take upwards of 30 seconds to complete. In these cases, Dreamweaver times out (at approximately 40 seconds) and then user must try the process again.
Possibe Solutions
a) Increase cache size in apache.
This has been done, but we have a large client base, and with 900 look-ups per user, we hit the ceiling of an acceptable cahce size. This solution does not work for us.
b) Change DreamWeaver authentication to only bind once.
Binding 900 times for 900 separate lookups is wasteful. Can DreamWeaver be configured to bind once and have multiple transactions?
[ bind + [ 900 x lookup ] + unbind ]
c) Change DreamWeaver timeout value
Currently DreamWeaver times out on connection attempts at about 30-40 seconds. Can DreamWeaver be configured to timeout at a different value?
============
Thanks!
Graham

Thanks for the super fast response...
Dummy me... It was the firewall on the Oracle host XP box that was the problem
Appreciate the help

Test Player time out

Hi guys
Need a pointer..
Am trying to explore the standard functionality of test player timed out if a time out alert is enabled....
But when i try doing this , doesn't seem to be working....
not sure of the following:
does this happen for surveys as well?
any other profile option or any other set up is required for this ?
cheers

Hi,
Actually IMHO iLearning 5.0 does assessments in a strange way...
This is how it works:
The test timer starts when the user starts the test. (Even if the user leaves the test, the timer still runs.) According to Oracle, this is intended behavior. The 'remaining time' display is only refreshed when the user does refresh the browser or go to a subsequent screen - test section.
So it is possible that the user does not receive an alert concerning the time remaining at all (there is no pop-up or anything, the alert is only the display of the time remaining on top of the screen...)
Once time has expired, the user is locked out of continuing or submitting the test and the status of the test in the database is failed (if I remember correctly. However, I'm sure the test is not submitted automatically on timeout, the system just assumes the score is zero.)
Another strange thing: you can set a test as resumable, but when the user leaves the test - with an intention to return later - the timer does not stop...
The only workaround I see is that you do one question per page (=test section) but it's very tedious work...
This did work differently before iL 4.2... In earlier versions you couldn't make multi-page timed tests, however there was a real-time ticking clock and a pop-up alert as well. On timeout, the test was submitted so the user got a score for it. Oracle says this was changed because lots of customers wanted it to change...
hope this makes things clearer even if we can't really change the way OiL works.. (I currently struggle with the same issue and will possibly build a custom test display engine w. Flash..)
cheers

Safari hangs and times out on pages with CGI scripts

I don't know if this is a Safari problem or a system wide problem. I running OS 10.4.9 with Safari 2.0.4. When I try to load a page that begins with "http://cgi." it begins to load but hangs and eventually times out. Has anyone else run into this problem? I did a search of the forum but came back with no results.
