The timeout values for SFTPClient, HTTPClient, and
webreference objects are based on the timeout value of the calling
script. The script timeout value is used as an upper bound for the timeout that is
configured for the SFTPClient and HTTPClient.
It’s recommended to use the service framework, which has multiple monitoring and management features for web services. Nevertheless, for HTTPClient or SFTPClient, the timeouts can also be set as part of the function call.
If you are having difficulty with scripts timing out while calling a third-party system or service, you can contact Customer Support to change the timeouts temporarily.
