Default timeout value on AEM Dispatcher.

Hi All,

 

In AEM Dispatcher, there is a timeout value under the renders property in the Dispatcher configuration which I assume determines the maximum time the dispatcher will wait for a response from the AEM publish instance when rendering dynamic content. Currently, the timeout is set to default value 10000 ms so if I change this configuration to let's say 50000 ms, it would increase timeout in Dispatcher? I'm still newbie to AEM andI would like to confirm if my understanding is correct.

Hello @eobaseki 

 

  • The timeout value specifies the duration for which the Dispatcher will wait for a response from the AEM publish instance. If the response is not received within the specified timeout duration, the Dispatcher considers the request as timed out.

 

  • The purpose of this timeout value is to prevent the Dispatcher from waiting indefinitely for a response from the publish instance. By setting a timeout, you can control the maximum time the Dispatcher will wait, ensuring that requests are not held up indefinitely and can fail gracefully if the publish instance does not respond within the specified time.

      If you increase the timeout configuration to 50000 ms (50 seconds), it will indeed increase the timeout duration. This can be useful in scenarios where requests to the backend server may take longer to process, such as when handling complex queries or performing resource-intensive operations.
