asp submitted to process asp;but calling asp page says:"Page not found" aftr 1hr

[Divya]

Hi all,
I have an user.asp page(has html display) which displays
the controls; After client-side validations, I do a
document.form.submit() to a process asp page(no html, only
server side processing and then redirects to the user.asp).
This process asp calls some dll functions which might take
a couple of hours if number of records to process is huge.
Now, the dll opens a pop-up window which shows the status
of the results(number of records processed and failed).
After exactly 1 hour, the user.asp page says page cannot
be found. Is it due to some timeout or something? What
could be the reason?

test it on a few records so you get an immediate response, then u'll know if
you got a redirect problem..
as far as error trapping goes, either do it in ur dll, or inspect you Server
Logs )

Changing the session timeout to be longer (assuming your Web host allows
increases of as much as you want) means that session variables will
persist longer, and unless one has a high traffic site that may not be a
problem. You could always lower it in the future. Perhaps have your
home page or login page set the session timeout. To set it to 240
minutes (i.e. 4 hours):

Session.Timeout = 240

But be aware that many Web host have their own maximum timeouts so you
may have to start a trouble ticket to request more if the above doesn't
do it.
