Hi,

I wonder if it is possible to customize the timeout for running a python script via the Python Scope and Invoke Python Method Activity.

I have complex python script which runs longer than 1 hour some times, but when it does so there is a hard exit from the activity which I can not control.

Appreciate any help.

Best Regards

> Hi, I am trying to build an automated process that triggers a python script to connect to a database and perform operations. My issue is that the script by itself takes 4-5hrs to complete its functions, but the Load Script activity in UiPath times out after 1hr. I am at a loss as to how would I go about working around this. I don’t see an option in python activities to increase timeout. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

In the upcoming version of Python Activities we will have a Timeout property for the Python Scope activity. This new version will be released later this month.
