How to Change Value for Network(RCF) Client Connection Timeout

This is for Content Manager 10.0

Under Setup Information>Network Connections there is a value for Network(RCF) Client Connection Timeout. How does one go about changing that value? I cannot find any registry keys or settings that relate to this value. Older information from other threads regarding HP TRIM does not appear to be applicable anymore.

Thanks,

    Hi Jase,

    For 10.0 you want to do the below

    Create the following registry key on the required client machines that you want to increase the RCF timeout for.

    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
    
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Micro Focus\Content Manager\WorkgroupServerConnection]
    "rcfClientConnectTimeout"=dword:00003a98
    
    

    3a98 in HEX = 1500 in DECIMAL

    NB: Make sure the registry value when setting is in decimal to the total MS that you are after. It is then stored as its HEX value.

    For 10.1 and above you want to do the below

    Create a TRIMMetrics.ini file next to the TRIM.exe in the install folder for the respective client machines you want to increase the RCF timeout for.

    ; TRIMMetrics.ini
    ;
    ; This file contains customizable settings for Content Manager.
    ; Descriptions and default values are specified for each setting.
    ; To change a setting, uncomment the relevant line and set the value as desired.
    
    [Client]
    
    ; ------------------------------------------
    
    ; RcfClientConnectTimeout
    ; Sets the network connection timeout in seconds, for TCP connections from client to server.
    ; Type: Integer
    ; Default value: 5
    
    RcfClientConnectTimeout = 15
    
    ; ------------------------------------------
    
    [Server]
    
    ; ------------------------------------------
    
    [Core]
    
    ; ------------------------------------------
