Defining Timeouts and Redirects for REST Agent Connection Objects

To make the communication between the REST Agent and the REST Web Service possible, you need Connection objects. Automic Automation Connection objects store all the connection information to a service endpoint and define the security protocol and corresponding credential information. In the Advanced section of the Connection object definition page you specify the timeout settings.

• Connection Timeout

  The number of seconds before timing out while attempting to connect to the URL endpoint. When set to 0, the connection never times out. The default is 30 seconds.

• Read Timeout

  The number of seconds before timing out when waiting for a method call. When set to 0, the read never times out. The default is 60 seconds.

• Follow Redirects

  Specifies that the request should follow site redirects. For example, if you are trying to get to http://test.com and that site redirects to http://newtest.com, the request will automatically follow the redirect and connect with http://newtest.com.
