The following Wait Times can be configured:

DDE Server

The number of seconds the reporting engine will wait for the InTouch HisData DDE server to return the historical data requested.

This setting only needs to be changed if time out errors are triggered when a data group is updated.

Disconnect

The number of seconds the reporting engine will wait after disconnecting from the InTouch HisData DDE server. This is useful when a report contains multiple data groups retrieving data historical data from InTouch because it ensures the DDE server is closed between each request.

This setting only needs to be changed if reports with multiple data groups are triggering errors that the DDE server failed to start or connect.
