Symptom
You are receiving a timeout in your BPEM connector.
HINTS
Timeouts occur on the connectors when there is not enough time to pull back all workitems from the connected systems.
There is a 30 second time limit which is placed on connectors that is configurable in the Optional Universal Worklist Service Configuration tray. Some connectors, such as the BPEMConnector cannot fulfill the get items request in this time period (30 seconds) so the value should be increased here.
