Configuring Timeouts

You can change the main timeout value for tasks on a Squore Server installation. . The default value is six hours and is generally fine: if an analysis runs for six hours, it is assumed that something went wrong or will go wrong for reasons regarding memory consumption.

If you decide that the timeout does not suit your workflow, you can change the default timeout value from the Administration pages:

  1. Log into Squore Server as a user with administrative privileges.

  2. Click Administration > System to view the advanced configuration options.

  3. Set the value of the timeout in seconds in the Timeout of queue tasks, in seconds field.

Note

The timeout period defines how long a project can stay in the project queue on the server. This means the timeout period for projects created using the web interface or from the command line using the DELEGATE_CREATION command is as defined by the parameter above. For projects created from the command line using the PROCESS_CREATION command, the part of the analysis carried out on the client machine is not taken into account in the timeout time. These projects only enter the server queue when the analysis is finished on the client and the results are sent to the server for processing, and there is no built-in timeout for the client part of the analysis.
