Controlling the duration of a request

An asynchronous openFT request remains in the request queue until it is fully executed or explicitly deleted or until its lifetime, which can be set via an administration parameter, expires.

When issuing an asynchronous request, however, you may specify a time at which the request is to be deleted, or the file transfer is to be canceled (cancel timer). In this way, you can avoid tying up resources for partners who are temporarily unavailable, or when network problems are encountered.
