I'm new to the list...we have some JF's configured to access Oracle on various platforms. Some of the jobs are timing out and I need to set the timeout parameter to something other than 2 mins. Has anyone figured out how to do this? Doug Thomas Database Administrator University Hospital / HSC @ Syracuse e-mail: thomasda@mailbox.hscsyr.edu voice: 315.464.8933 fax: 315.464.4126
