Issue/Introduction

Does the Stargate decomposer engine timeout after a specified time in SPE?

Resolution

The only timeout SPE has for the Stargate engine is "ScanTimeoutInSeconds" found in the configuration.xml file and that is mapped to the Stargate timeout which is infinite by default. This is supported and works on both RPC and ICAP mode. The timer in this case starts the moment we submit the file to Stargate, so in case of ICAP if you are streaming a file that streaming time is not considered for this timeout, it starts the moment the complete file is received by SPE over ICAP and it submits to Stargate. In the case of RPC it's a inline file scanning where there is no streaming.
