Web Service Consumer - Network operation did not complete in a reasonable amount of time

HCL Domino Domino Forum

I have an agent (lotusscript) that uses a web service consumer that consumes a Domino web service (written in Java). Both the agent and the web service are on the same server.

When I invoke the web service from my desktop using soapui 2.5 client, it works perfectly. When I invoke the web service from an agent via my notes client, the web service works perfectly.

When I invoke the web service from an agent that is called via a browser using http://server/dbpath.nsf/agentName?OpenAgent, I get the following error: Error: Line: 175 Error Nbr: 4746: Web Service GetImages method returnImagePath error Error while reading data from server, Network operation did not complete in a reasonable amount of time; please retry.

A network timeout? any hints?

As I understand you call the agent via URL which calls a web service on the same server.

Are they in the same database? I recall this not working if so in 8.5 beta but haven’t tested that since.

If they are in different databases can you try the following.

  • Go to server document.

  • Internet Protocols → Domino Web Engine

  • Set “Run web agents and web services concurrently?” to Enabled.

Subject: Yes, agent and service in the same db…

I will try both things:

  1. Move the web service to another database

and

  1. Enable the “Run web agents concurrently?” setting on the server doc.

Wahoo! changed the server setting and it is now working…

Thank you VERY much Simon!
