Problem conclusion

• Set the timeout in the instance configuration file as in the
  following example:
  
  OutboundConnector/InteractionSpec/
  
  <OutboundConnector default="true" enabled="true" id="-100"
                  name="HTTP" retries="3">
                  <JNDI JndiName="eis/JCAHTTP" display="false"/>
                  <ConnectionSpec
  
  ClassName="com.ibm.commerce.wc.messaging.adapters.jcahttp.JCAHTT
  PConnectionSpecImpl" default="true"/>
                  <InteractionSpec
  
  ClassName="com.ibm.commerce.wc.messaging.adapters.jcahttp.JCAHTT
  PInteractionSpecImpl" default="true">
  .
                      <EditableProperty
       Admin="connectTimeout"
       display="false"
       editable="yes"
       name="setConnectTimeout" value="60"/>
  
      <EditableProperty
       Admin="readTimeout"
       display="false"
       editable="yes"
       name="setReadTimeout" value="60"/>
  
                  </InteractionSpec>
