SAP Timeout Handler Reusable Snippet

Help Marketplace
,
1

Hi i would like to share my new component

Some activities such as SAP.ReadStatusbar activity do not obey the Timeout property if the SAP session has hung or disconnected. It will keep running forever until the user manually kills SAP

With this snippet, you can enforce a hard timeout limit by having a separate timeout handler that runs independent of your main flow, meaning it wont get affected by events such as SAP being busy/hung. If the timeout does occur robot will kill SAP etc, which will solve the above problem

How to use?

  1. Open Timeout handler – main.xaml
  2. put your SAP flow here (can be whole flow or part of your flow e.g. download flow or just an activity e.g. readStatusBar)

  3. update the timeout (in seconds)

great news

UiPath project settings now has an option to enforce HARD timeout,
if this is set to TRUE, it means if SAP Hangs for whatever reason e.g. popup , the workflow should stop and throw an error after the timeout
