soap receiver adapter took 2 minutes to fail

[Former Member]

Hi, all

I am working on a synchronous interface: abap proxy <-> PI <-> soap. The receiver side is a web service. When the web service is shutdown, the URL of the soap service provider is not available. For example, here is the url:

http://xxxx:7003/yyy/zzz. Now server xxxx is available but the port 7003 is down. It took PI 2 minutes to return a system error. Here is part of the error "SOAP: Error occurred: com.sap.engine.interfaces.messaging.api.exception.MessagingException: java.io.IOException: Communication over HTTP. Unable to create a socket." This is all good but is there a way to shorten the 2 minutes to 10 seconds? We obviously don't want the user's screen to spin. I have already tried putting in parameter XMBWS.Timeout to 10000 and it doesn't work. Any idea would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Jonathan.
