Configuring the Timeout Values for States and Events
The default timeout value for all states and events is 30 minutes and is configured in the
vRealize Automation global settings. Some workflows might take more time to run successfully. To
accommodate different workflows in your environment, you can add timeout override values for individual
workflows or states.
To modify the default timeout value, select Infrastructure > Administration > Global Settings and edit
the value for Extensibility lifecycle message timeout. If you make changes to the global setting, you
must restart the manager service.
