I want to increase the wait time the loadrunner controller uses while waiting for a response from a web service. I'm using loadrunner 8.1. It currently is set to 120 seconds by default. I unchecked the check timeout box and changed all the times to 999. When I run the scenario, it still times out in 120 seconds. What am I missing?

If you want increase the time out to 999 please follow the navigations as below:

1. Vugen --> Runtime Settings --> Preferences --> options  and make a changes there 
for example:
HTTP Request Connection timeout(sec) 120 by Deafult
you can make it as a 999 and click on "OK" Button.

if u want to incraese the wiat time what ever the script having you can go for

1. Vugen --> Runtime Settings --> think time --> use random percentage of record think time.

let me know if u have any concerns.

i think it will help you if not let me know your views for my updations.

Use the following steps to prevent Mercury LoadRunner timeout errors if you need greater than 1,000 seconds for a function such as upload to complete

1. Modify Mercury InteractiveLoadRunnertemplateqtwebdefault.cfg. Insert the following:

[web]

ReceiveTimeout=10000

If any one wants to increase the lr_think_time(10);  - you can do it upto 1200 secs

it can be done by modifiying the default.cfg file of the script.
