Specifies the number of seconds an operation can run before it times out and is canceled.

Data Type

int

Default Value

300

Remarks

This property controls how long an operation can run before timing out.

• If this property is set to 0, operations do not time out. They run until completion or encounter an error.
• If the timeout duration expires before the operation completes, the connector throws an exception.

Handling Long-Running Queries

Some operations in NetSuite can take a long time, particularly when:

• Retrieving data from child tables.
• Querying tables with AggregateColumnMode set to ListAndRetrieve.
• Processing large datasets, such as retrieving 1000 SalesOrders in a single request.

To avoid timeout errors in these cases:

• Set Timeout to 0 to allow operations to run indefinitely.
• Use a smaller Pagesize to retrieve data in smaller chunks.
• Select specific columns instead of retrieving all columns.

This property helps manage performance and ensures operations complete successfully based on NetSuite’s API limitations.
