    The answer is REALLY in the posts above.

    Media server timeout is ALWAYS applied. 

    Client's bp.conf timeout entry should never be more than the timeout on the media server.

    I have NEVER needed timeout on any client, neither have any of our many customers. Not even on database clients.

    As per advice in the other posts, timeouts must NEVER be changed, unless you:
    1) are experiencing an issue and you are told by Support or experienced/qualified person to change values.
    2) are experiencing an issue and you find reference in a TN or manual that values should be changed
    3) you are about to implement a new solution and you find reccommendation in NBU manual or TN that timeouts should be changed.

    I have explained some time ago in one of your other posts how incorrect timeouts can even break scheduling.

    After you have read through each of the above posts, please answer this question:

    Why do you have timeout settings on the client?

    I have read the above post .Excellent.

    Time out settings do not have any sense on client.It needs to be on media server and master.correct?

     

    Nicolai only has 5 minutes, before he must go out.  This is like the client connect timeout - if I do not pick up the phone within 5 minutes, Nicolai will hang up, and go out.

    Here.Nicolai hanging up deoends on media server connect time out?

    These timeout setting exist by default on all servers and clients when you look at Host Properties in the GUI.

    They should simply be left alone unless database agents are used and evidence of client-intiated comms issues are seen.

    The moment you go into Host Properties -> Clients -> Client-Name -> Timeouts, you will see two default settings. If you click OK or Apply (instead of Cancel), these settings are written to Client's bp.conf file.

     

    bpconf will overcome media servers timeouts?
