The Time Limit attribute specifies the time, in seconds, within which a directory request must be completed. The value specified using this characteristic attribute limits the ability of user applications to specify a time limit. Syntax: SET DSA TIME LIMIT <seconds> The default value is 0, indicating that there is no time limit unless the application specifies one. The DSA makes frequent checks to see whether it has exceeded the time limit, and stops processing a request as soon as one of these checks indicates that the time limit has been exceeded. Any results that have been found within the time limit are presented to the user, with a Partial Results Displayed message.
