Hi,

In an ASP page, I have to execute a function but the server times out before the end. I don't want to change the server timeout. I would like to know if it's possible to tell IIS to not wait after the result of that function.

Thanks

There are two types of IIS time outs
session = 20 mins
script time out = 90 seconds

firstly:

I dont belive there is. The script time out is the one you are talking about. If you have a need to bump this up, your function needs looking at - It should not have a run time of more than 90 seconds.

The setting to adjust this is in the properties of your default web site / homeDirectory / config / options. You should not bump this up to make up for a slow function, post your function - there are plently of techo's here who would tweak it for you.

The code is an Export. It is optimized to the maximum. It takes 11 minutes on my computer but when I try it with the web, I got a page that the server is timed out and that mean it takes more than 20 minutes to execute.

I believe, that should be 90 secs not the 20 mins that you are talking about. When you say server times out, that should be SCRIPTTIMEOUT, not the session timing out.

What is the function doing a virtual half marathon? May I suggest you research the difference between a session timout and a script time out.

IMO no script should take more than 90 seconds 'RUN TIME'

Go on, post the function.
