Hi All,
   Openedge 11.4 - Linux, batch process.
   Background: Batch process that looks for events and then pushes them
 off to 3rd party, periodically hangs while sending.  Client has
 unreliable network and I found this KB
 http://knowledgebase.progress.com/articles/Article/000034154
 
    I implemented the above and immediately started getting "Error
 receiving Web Service Response: Unexpected response status code: 905
 (11773)".  Only error-status:get-message(1) has detail, there is no
 valid soap fault object.  Note - I run the method with a NO-ERROR and
 then check the error-status to check for any soap faults during the
 call - The example didn't show this.  Timeout was set to 60 seconds
 (STOP-AFTER 60) and then 300 just in case I was doing something stupid
 - to no effect.
 
    I cannot for the life of me recreate this in a simple scenario, BUT
 if I remove the suggestions (client connect time out and stop-after) -
 the error is gone.
 
    Does anyone have any suggestions, as I need to find a way to detect
 the hung connection/method call :(
Hi Sjellin,
"status 905" indicates that there was a connection timeout. It is possible that the soap response is taking longer than your timeout value.
Also , notice that , for "-clientConnectTimeout <n> STOP-AFTER <k>" n is in milliseconds while k is in seconds.
You can try to use ETIME to find the timeout value to use as shown in the following example:.
DEFINE VAR et AS INT
DEFINE VAR n AS INT.
et = ETIME(TRUE)
RUN <method> IN <portName>.
et = ETIME(FALSE).
n = et * 5.
You can now use n as your "-clientConnectTimeout" value and n /1000 as your STOP-AFTER value.
