> 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.
