The developer suggests that you try changing it to 10 seconds on both and see what happens. 10 in hex is A.
So you will run the CHGDTAARA command and then change the first 16
characters to 0000000A0000000A.
After you do this, You must stop and restart the broker. Make sure that you change the Server Timeout to 90 seconds on the broker command as these values all work in conjunction with each other.
