These errors will show up if a page load time is longer than the CGI Script Timeout setting in IIS. At times, this may be normal if the user is requesting a large search. However, if these messages are frequent, it may indicate a performance problem in Service Desk. If this is the case, you may want to open an issue with Support to identify the cause.
A possible cause of the issue is excessive logins being sent to SDM which are being left to time out. Whenever a user logs into the product, there are multiple components that are called up, such as the scoreboard, which will start scripting which can time out if the given login session is then left to abandon for timeout.
Something to look for are repeated logins by such end users during timeframes that are unrealistic for a human to perform, such as periodically timed logins (ie: a given user logs in every 10 minutes, including overnight on a weekend holiday) or the end user logs in every 10 seconds exactly, which is physically impossible for any human to perform.
Such actions may point to some kind of automation or a "liveness" utility intended to test if SDM remains accessible, often from a third party vendor. However, there are no third party products that Broadcom has certified for use with Service Management and assistance to configure such products is outside the scope of Support.
