I'm maintaining some legacy code (dont ask), and my EAR file takes so long to load i hit the 300 second timeout, where the server starts but doesnt deploy the EAR. Then If i click publish, it deploys correctly because it saved precious seconds of having to startup the application server.
One would think double clicking on the server i would be able to edit the timeout there, like in JBoss, but all i See are the following tabs: General, Automatic Publishing, Server, Publishing, Security, and Network Deployment. None of these mention timeout anywhere. Looking inside the WAS console, there are just too many tabs and links to effectively find it by guessing.
Please help! Is anyone still alive to know this answer?
I have found the setting in Preferences -> Server. Its a drop down box that says
Server timeout delay: [Shorter, Short, Normal, Long, Longer]
