601.0. "ODSCL TIMEOUT parameter" by OSEC::VINOD () Fri May 09 1997 09:38



	Hi,

        Does anyone know at what level the TIMEOUT (Timeout interval)
        parameter in ODSCL, is used when a BSTR GET VALUE NAMED command is
        issued.

        I have a customer who is issuing a BSTR GET VALUE NAMED command and 	
	waiting upto 15 minutes for a value or failure from the device.

	The TIMEOUT is set to 60 seconds in ODSCL.

	
	I suspect the following :

        1. B* sends a request to INTERS for a value
        2. INTERS acknowledges that its received the request
        3. B* waits until the value is sent by INTERS.


        I think the timeout parameter is for the first acknowledgement
        from INTERS.


        Any Ideas ?


	Regards

    Vinod,
    
    the ODS TIMEOUT value *should* be handled by the DAS (INTERS, in your
    case).
    
    Are you sure the INTERS DAS does actually implement such a mechanism ?
    
    The fact that a timeout can be CONFIGURED by means of ODSCL does not
    imply that the timeout is then actually MANAGED by the DAS software
    at runtime.
