Client-side script times out from inactivity

 

If an inactivity timeout has been set for clients, long running client-side scripts will timeout before completing. 

 

The inactivity timer must be suspended for the duration of long running client-side scripts and then resumed when the script completes.  The following must be added to the script in question:

var client = Packages.com.mosol.Formula.Client;

client.InactivityTimer.suspend();

do_long_running_function();

client.InactivityTimer.resume();

where do_long_running_function() is the long running client script. 

 

This fix is only needed for client-side scripts which are expected to run longer than the inactivity timeout setting.  Client-side scripts are client-side operations and user automations.  This fix is not needed for client-side scripts that are invoked from a server-side script.
