Prerequisites  First, you will need to set up one of the Perspectium   DataSync Agents .    You should  stop running your DataSync Agent   before making any Agent configuration changes. It may be necessary to adjust the timeout values that the  DataSync Agent  is using. You can adjust this by the attributes of the  <message_connection>  with: connection_request_timeout connection_timeout For example, you can adjust these values to  120000  for 120 seconds. You would place it within your  agent.xml  like so: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" standalone="no"?>
<config>
    <agent>
        <subscribe>
            <task>
                <task_name>timeout_example</task_name>
                <message_connection user="XXXX" password="XXX" connection_timeout="120000" connection_request_timeout="120000">https://example.perspectium.net</message_connection>
                .
                .
                .
            <task>
        <subscribe>
    </agent>
</config>   NOTE :   You should only use this when using  https  for the DataSync agent. Can't find what you're looking for?     See  the FAQ  or browse the  Perspectium Community Forum .
