how to set timeout parameter for a specific cfm file

[xzhang]

Hi,

I am writting a cfm page which queries data from informix databse and it takes a couple of seconds up to dozens of minutes dependent on input argments for the query.

From coldfusion admin page, we set up the timeout request as 30 seconds.

However, I like to know whether there is a function/mechanism, which allows a cfm page rather than all cfm pages with a timeout request/parameter.

Hey xzhang,

Just append a "requestTimeout" parameter to the end of your script like this:

Http://myDomain.com/scripts/scripName.cfm?requestTimeout=3600

This will override the default in the CF admin. I don't believe there is any other way to pass this in except with a url variable. I suspect this has to do with CF needing to know the timeout before starting the script. Setting this inside the script or with form variables would probably preclude CF from getting them in time.

Hope this helps,
