Introduction:

When using InTime to submit a job for a big project archive file, you encounter an error message:

Process: DISTRIBUTE STRATEGIES | The InTime Server returned the following error message: Please check your networking and internet access. Operation: sourceupload_1, Tried: 4, InTime server at 192.168.1.1 is inaccessible. 
Stacktrace: [125] 192.168.1.1 is not contactable or not responding properly. [117] SocketTimeout, RETRYING AGAIN LATER: 1. Elapsed: 900014msec. 
File checksum operation at InTime Server took longer than expected. Current timeout is `900000` (in milliseconds). Restart InTime with an environment variable PL_JAVA_TIMEOUT_UPLOAD=`new timeout` (in milliseconds) and resubmit again."

or similar.

Resolution:

After the InTime Server receives the project archive, it validates the file checksum. If machine resources are heavily loaded, validation may take longer than expected and a timeout will occur. Increase the timeout by using an environment variable and restart the InTime client for the new timeout period to take effect.

$ export PL_JAVA_TIMEOUT_UPLOAD=<new timeout value> in milliseconds
$ ./intime.sh

Applies to:

  • Linux Operating System
  • Windows Operating System
