Available system properties
This article is based on the ServiceNow documentation article. See the original article on the ServiceNow doc site: ServiceNow: Available system properties.
Some properties are available on a system properties form, but some lesser-used properties are available only from the System Property [sys_properties] table. Sometimes, the property does not exist in a base instance, but can be added if you change the value.
The Instance Security Hardening Settings content contains detailed descriptions, and compliance values, for the security-related system properties and plugins in the Now Platform. To learn more about each of these properties, see Instance Security Hardening Settings.
glide.http.outbound.max_timeout
Specifies the number of seconds that RESTMessageV2 and SOAPMessageV2 APIs wait for a response from a synchronous call. The maximum value is 30 seconds.
To define a timeout longer than 30 seconds, set the glide.http.outbound.max_timeout.enabled system property to false and use the waitForResponse() method to set the timeout. For examples, see Asynchronous RESTMessageV2 example and Asynchronous SOAPMessageV2 example. If glide.http.outbound.max_timeout.enabled is set to true and a value is passed in the waitForResponse() method, the system uses the smallest value from either the waitForResponse() method or the glide.http.outbound.max_timeout system property.
- Type: integer
- Default value: 30
- Location: Add the property to the System Property [sys_properties] table.
