    Question

    What is the difference between "session timeout", "connection timeout", and "server timeout"?

    Answer

    *Session timeout is when the screen goes back to the initial OPAC screen and/or the user is logged-out and required to re-sign-on.

    *Connection timeout is the same as "search timeout". If the server hasn't responded to the query within x time, the user will get an "error 501, timeout reached" message; "The page cannot be displayed"; or, in some cases, just "Done". This can occur with adjacency searches in an "setenv ADJACENCY N" environment.

    *Server timeout might sometimes be used in the sense of the preceding "connection timeout", but generally it is the same as "server refresh". It's when the server stops and restarts.
