If an Enterprise Vault user's request to retrieve an archived item from the AT&T Synaptic storage server takes longer than normal, specifies the number of seconds after which to present the user with the following message:

"The archived item is being retrieved from a slow device. Try again later."

Enterprise Vault continues to retrieve the item in the background until the System wait timeout period has elapsed. Enterprise Vault then abandons the attempt to retrieve the item, and the user must submit the retrieval request again.

The recommended value is 40 seconds.

40

System wait timeout

If an attempt to retrieve an archived item from the AT&T Synaptic cloud storage server takes an excessively long time, specifies the number of seconds after which to abandon the attempt and remove the requested item from the retrieval queue.

If the value is set to No, Enterprise Vault may leave some saveset files uncollected and thus unmigrated.
