CICS timeout for web client commands

We use RTIMOUT to limit the amount of time a CICS web client process(WEB OPEN/SEND/RECEIVE/CLOSE) will wait for a response from a web service. According to doc this is our only choice. It would be more convenient to have the ability to specify a timeout parameter on a specific client command, say the OPEN or SEND. RTIMOUT is used for other purposes, for example MRO transaction timeouts, and this fact creates conflicts if an MRO transaction does web client services.

    The new async api provided in CICS TS 5.4 will provide a solution to this problem.

    Yes, you are right---we are upgrading to 5.4 and the new feature you mentioned will likely solve the problem. Thanks

    Would use of the asynchronous API provided in CICS TS 5.4 be an option here? The parent child task capability would provide the desired 2 second control in the parent transaction without incurring AZIG abends. The child transaction would be a separate unit-of-work, but the easy-to-use API makes the whole process a lot easier and less risky then a homegrown solution.
