WMS Timeout Values

Connect Timeout

Indicates the amount of time allowed establish an Internet connection request to a Web Map server. If request takes longer than this value, a timeout occurs. The default connect time out is 60 seconds.

Send Timeout

Indicates the amount of time 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 time out is 60 seconds.

Receive Timeout

Indicates the amount of time allowed to begin to receive a response from a request to a Web Map server. The download can take longer than the time out, but the response has to occur within the timeout setting. The default is 300 seconds.

WMS GetMap Pixel Limits

The GetMap Pixel Limits 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.

Note: You can set per-server defaults for GetMap Pixel Limits in the WFS Server Information dialog box.

Unfortunately, servers do not report their limits to us, so if the GetMap request fails, it means that you have entered a value that is too large. 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.

Note: You can also use this option to shorten the WMS map retrieval time, but remember that the resulting image will display at a lower resolution.

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.
