Timeout in SystemConfigSyncBindingStub upload_file

Hi,

 

Could anyone let me know if there is any default timeout set in the function SystemConfigSyncBindingStub.upload_file ?

 

I found that my call to SystemConfigSyncBindingStub.upload_file just ended with an "java.net.SocketTimeoutException: Read timed out" exception if the icontrol service on my F5 didn't respond in 60 secs.

 

Could anyone help to shed some lights on this?

 

thanks

  • Please see this issue

     

    On this issue, Joe said that default timeout of iControl Java Library is 60 sec, and you can change it.

     

  • How much data are you sending on the upload_file call? We recommend breaking the file up into smaller chunks and not sending a very large file at one time. The upload_file() method is designed to allow for this. Check out the Perl ConfigSync example on how to break a large file into individual chunks for uploads and downloads - https://devcentral.f5.com/codeshare?sid=122
