Possible scenarios:
Possible error in the CCS Console is shown below. (the command listed after the bolded error below will vary depending on which command is running when it times out)
This query was halted before completion. Query timed out in command execution: <command_that_was_running_at_timeout>
Example:
This query was halted before completion. Query timed out in command execution: find / name !-fstype nfs -a ! -fstype autofs -a ! -fstype cifs -a ! -fstype -a ! -fstype ncp -a ! -fstype afp -a ! -fstype afs -type d \\ ( -perm -0002 -a ! -perm -1000 \\) @ lt/dev/null
CCS 12.5.X
CCS 12.6.X
A timeout occurring due to targeting large file systems (e.g. NFS, CIFS, etc.) on local or remote file systems, or folders that contain a lot of files.
To exclude remote Filesystems:
# Possible Values: true or false
# Description: Used for ignoring remote filesystems while query
IgnoreRemoteFileSystems=true
NOTE: There are two files that can be modified depending what you want to accomplish. In this example below we will modify the IgnoreDirectoryPathAlways.dat file, but you can modify the IgnoreDirectoryPathsForFind.dat in a similar way if you only want to eliminate the path when using the 'FIND' command.
To ignore certain paths or directories:
; bvControl for UNIX v8.50
; This file contains list of directories to be ignored for ALL queries
; Add each directory on a new line.
; Semi-colon(;) or hash(#) is a comment character. To skip a directory prefix it with the comment character
/path/to/ignore
/path/to/network/share
/rabbit/hole
<blank line>
3. Stop and restart the 'Symantec CCS Manager' and 'Symantec Data Processing Service' services to have the new configuration to be applied to the manager.
# Possible Values: true or false
# Description: Used for ignoring remote filesystems while query
IgnoreRemoteFileSystems=true
