This attribute specifies the number of seconds that the Sous-processus Arbortext PE pool work thread (explained in Sous-processus Arbortext PE Pool Work Thread) will wait for an Sous-processus Arbortext PE response to be returned to the Arbortext PE Request Manager. The default value is 1800 seconds (30 minutes). If an Sous-processus Arbortext PE does not respond with a result before this interval elapses, the Sous-processus Arbortext PE pool assumes that the Sous-processus Arbortext PE is not usable and terminates it. An error will be returned that is usually transmitted to the HTTP client making the request.

If processing a request could take a significant amount of time, increase the value accordingly to be sure the Sous-processus Arbortext PE can produce the result in the allotted time. For example, formatting a large document or one with many graphics could take a long time, and if the wait period elapses, the Sous-processus Arbortext PE could terminate before it finishes formatting and publishing the document.

If you want to disable the wait process because you know processing requests will take a very long time, you can set this attribute to zero. In this case, the work thread will never terminate an Sous-processus Arbortext PE for failing to respond.
