This is happening when invoking a webservices from BPEL and if it takes more than 5 minutes we are getting above Error
we have tried out SyncMaxWaitTime Property in BPEL configurations through SOA administration menu of EM. Also tried by increasing JTA timeout seconds in Service--JTA @ weblogic console.
Any suggestion or pointers..

Answer 1

Hi,
Could help set the following...
The timeouts should be configured based on the below condition
SyncMaxWaitTime < BPEL EJB's transaction timeout < Global Transaction Timeout
The values could be: SyncMaxWaitTime (3600) ; BPEL EJB's transaction timeout (3600); Global Transaction Timeout JTA (7200)
Setting the SyncMaxWaitTime :
This is the maximum time a synchronous BPEL process waits before it times out to get the response from another BPEL or a web service
Login to EM console
Expand SOA and right click on "soa-infra"
From context menu, select SOA Administration –> BPEL properties
Click on "More BPEL Configuration properties"
Enter the appropriate value for the SyncMaxWaitTime
Setting the global transaction timeout at Weblogic Domain Level:
This property controls the transaction timeout seconds for active transactions. If the transaction is still in the "active" state after this time, it is automatically rolled back. 
Log into Oracle Weblogic Administration Console.
Click Services -> JTA.
Change the value of Timeout Seconds to the required value (the default is 30)
Click Save.
Restart Oracle Weblogic Server.
Overriding the transaction timeout setting for BPEL EJB's:
The timeout properties for the EJB's control the particular timeout setting for the SOA application, overriding the global setting specified by the JTA timeout 
Log into Oracle Weblogic Administration Console.
Click Deployments.
Expand soa-infra -> EJBs.
Click on the configuration tab for the timeout setting for each of EJB’s listed below and the change the time out values as required.
Following EJBs need to be updated:
BPELActivityManagerBean  
BPELDeliveryBean
BPELDispatcherBean
BPELEngineBean
BPELFinderBean
BPELInstanceManagerBean
BPELProcessManagerBean
BPELSensorValuesBean
BPELServerManagerBean
Click Save.
Restart Oracle Weblogic Server.
I hope you find it useful!
hugs!
