Override Timeout Values
Use these options to locally override the timeout values set for the current server in the Web Services Preferences dialog box.
Override Default Values
Select this check box to enable the timeout value fields for this server.
Connect Timeout
Indicates the amount of time (in seconds) allowed to establish an Internet connection request to a Web Map server. If the request takes longer than this value, a timeout occurs. The default connect timeout is 60 seconds.
Send Timeout
Indicates the amount of time (in seconds) allowed to send an Internet request to a Web Map server. If the request takes longer than this value, a timeout occurs. The default send timeout is 60 seconds.
Receive Timeout
Indicates the amount of time (in seconds) allowed to begin to receive a response from a request from a Web Map server. The download can take longer than the timeout, but the response has to occur within the timeout setting. The default receive timeout is 300 seconds.
Override WMS GetMap Pixel Limits
Use these options to override the WMS GetMap Pixel Limits options set in the Web Services Preferences locally.
Override WMS GetMap Pixel Limits
Select this check box to enable the Max Width and Max Height fields so you can override the GetMap Pixel Limits for the selected server.
This option represents the maximum number of pixels (in width/height) that a map request is limited to. The GetMap request is designed to retrieve the highest resolution map image as is necessary to render the image on the screen, for a printer, or for an export file. This option prevents the request from going higher than the specified values. Different servers have different limits, so you can set the limit that works best for your environment.
Unfortunately, servers may not report their limits to us, so if the GetMap request fails, it means that you have entered a value that is too large for that server. Typically, large GetMap requests occur when you are printing or exporting windows containing WMS images. This happens because printing and exporting occurs at larger sizes and/or higher resolutions than on-screen display requires.
Max Width
Max Width specifies the maximum number of pixels for a GetMap request in the X direction.
Max Height
Max Height specifies the maximum number of pixels for a GetMap request in the Y direction.
