Hi all,

I am trying to increase the default web service timeout setting in Nintex workflow from 2minutes to longer.

According to the instructions, using command NWAdmin.exe –o SetCallWebServiceTimeout –milliseconds numberOfMilliSeconds changes the value, however, when I try

NWAdmin.exe –o SetCallWebServiceTimeout –milliseconds 140000 (140 seconds timeout), it is giving error below.

PS C:UsersAdministrator.UATEXTRANET> NWAdmin.exe -o SetCallWebServiceTimeout -
milliseconds 140000
milliseconds must be a positive integer.

Check operation usage:

NWAdmin.exe -o SetCallWebServiceTimeout -milliseconds numberOfMilliSeconds

Any ideas on how I can change the value? thanks.

Perhaps it's more than the limit, although I don't think you are near the limit because the default value is 100000. Try 100000 and then go on increasing it.

Anyway I suggest you to ask to Ask Support​ about the limit and show your case

I asked Nintex support and it was the Nintex database version, which was not up to date. I updated it and I can now change the web service time out value. thanks.

I just wanted to add for anyone else facing this issue, and where the Nintex Database has been updated (Central Admin>Nintex Workflow Management>Database Setup)

 

This issue could caused by copying the commands from the original source document and pasted into command prompt/powershell.

 

Instead manually type out the commands, instead of copying/pasting.

 

Hope that helps,
