FAQ: What can I do when I run into a timeout while creating a project backup?
It is possible to configure timeouts for database access and backup creation in the zenDB.ini file. The default values may be too low, especially when working with complex projects or those containing many graphics and symbols.
To address this, try increasing the timeouts by adding the following lines to the [CONFIG] section of zenDB.ini file (create the section if not present yet):
COMMANDTIMEOUT=300000
BACKUPRESTORETIMEOUT=600000
This allows up to 5 minutes for database access and up to 10 minutes for project backup restore operations.
After modifying the zenDB.ini file, make sure to re-register zenon for the changes to take effect.
