Upper limit on the timeout placed in LoadRunner function web_set_timeout()?

Yes, there is an upper limit to the time which you can define in this timeout function. The limit is set to 1000 seconds. I certainly don't think there is any need to define timeout beyond this limit, as if your application is taking this long already to respond, which means this is something wrong with the application response itself and increasing the timeout further will not help.


And if you will try to place the timeout beyond 1000 seconds in web_set_timeout() function, you will see below error message in the replay logs:
"Error - 27285: setting the timeout value failed"

  1. I have a scenario where I need to wait for 5 hours to get the response for a web_custom_request. I tried to increase Step Download timeout and HTTP Connection time outs. But after certain amount of time the connection getting lost with the server. Can you please help me how can I achieve this scenario.
