Continuous Deployment Timeout

Continuous deployment transfers can timeout due to one or more of the following factors:

  • Large archive size
  • A slow network or high latency
  • Long start-up time for archives

If you are encountering timeout issues, you can set a higher socket timeout between the broker and engines. This can be set in the Silver Fabric Administration Tool at Config > Broker > Communications under the section HTTP Connections > Engines. The Socket Timeout parameter configures the HTTP connections established from brokers to clients and engines. Set the timeout value to the longest of the following three:

  • The longest scaling archive download time from the broker to engine
  • The longest starting or stopping time for an archive
  • The longest undeploy time
    Note: Files larger than 1GB should not be deployed using continuous deployment.
