Elements are spread on 5 SLProtocol process.
if on an element the timeout is set to 30s and the device is not reachable. Does the polling of other elements in the same SLProtocol are stuck until we reach the 30s timeout period ?
Hi Bernard,
This doesn't impact other elements.
Each element will have its own thread in the SLProtocol process that it uses. If an element does receive a timeout on one of his commands, it will only show an element timeout in case it hasn't received any data during the next 30 seconds.
More info about timeout settings can be found in the DataMiner Administrator - Elements course from 21:30 onwards.
Hi Bernard,
In most cases the other elements will not be stuck because one element is waiting for the timeout period.
I can think of 2 exceptions where it would be affecting the other elements:
- The element are polling the same device IP:Port AND lock/unlock actions are being used in the protocol.xml
- The elements are flagging a lock (or mutex) somewhere in a qaction and the qactions of other elements would also require that lock. But that is a scenario that is not likely to happen
