Timeout Exception during Machine Provisioned WFStub

[zebduin]

During machine provisioning, a vCO workflow is called (during machine provisioned wf stub).  However the vCO workflow seems to exceed a max timeout value.  The workflow is still running when vCAC progresses the state to machine Disposing:

Machine balt2k8-jw-std1, state MachineProvisioned: InvokeRepositoryWorkflow, error caught:

System.TimeoutException: Machine balt2k8-jw-std1, state MachineProvisioned: InvokeRepositoryWorkflow, Repository Workflow WFStubMachineProvisioned timed out

   at DynamicOps.External.RepositoryWorkflows.InvokeRepositoryWorkflow.ThrowTimeoutErrorExecute(Object sender, EventArgs e)

   at System.Workflow.ComponentModel.Activity.RaiseEvent(DependencyProperty dependencyEvent, Object sender, EventArgs e)

   at System.Workflow.Activities.CodeActivity.Execute(ActivityExecutionContext executionContext)

   at System.Workflow.ComponentModel.ActivityExecutor`1.Execute(T activity, ActivityExecutionContext executionContext)

   at System.Workflow.ComponentModel.ActivityExecutorOperation.Run(IWorkflowCoreRuntime workflowCoreRuntime)

   at System.Workflow.Runtime.Scheduler.Run()

does anyone know where this timeout value is located and can be adjusted?  I'm heading to the ManagerService.exe.config now.

Thanks!

I found the following line denoting a 30 minute workflow timeout in the managerservice.exe.config

I increased to 45 minutes, restarted the manager service and will test

OK - a bit premature on calling the previous post a success.  However I think I may have found the correct file:C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\vCAC\Server\ExternalWorkflows\xmldb\ExternalWFStubs.xml

	<WorkflowArguments>
	<NameValue name="WorkflowName">WFStubMachineProvisioned</NameValue>
	<NameValue name="WorkflowTimeout">00:30:00</NameValue>
	<NameValue name="FailureState">UnprovisionMachine</NameValue>
	</WorkflowArguments>

This looks more promising.  Will update once I thoroughly test
