Hi,

Is it possible to extend the amount of time for nlapiRequestURL() when dealing with external webservices / sites ?

On Occasion we see the external site fail to return the info we need in a timely basis, and hoping to extend it just by a bit in case this happens.

This is the error message

SSS_REQUEST_TIME_EXCEEDED

Hello,

According to this SuiteAnswers post, nlapiRequestURL() will time out after 45 seconds. I’m not aware of any way to extend this time.

Here’s another SuiteAnswers post that has a sample script to help mitigate typical errors that may be thrown by nlapiRequestURL().

Hope that helps!

Is there any chance that you’re writing a client script? In that case, you can use native web browser APIs.

Otherwise, unfortunately the answer is no. If this fits your business process, you might consider calling nlapiRequestURL in a try/catch block and retrying x number of times on time-outs. The alternative would be redesigning your process to be async.
