Thanks. I have been tweaking those for some time and it has helped. But in this particular case, I was hoping for a setting to tell WPM to stop retrying a particular step after X failures.
IE, limit the number of times it does this:
2013-04-29 10:30:39,656 [SolarWinds.SEUM.Agent.Worker.exe][Browser Thread] WARN SolarWinds.SEUM.Player.WatiN.WatiNPlayer - Browser was stuck with pending requests for more than 10000ms.
Since it seems to just do it over and over and over before finally just failing the transaction.
In these cases, it is tying up one of the SEUM users for a long time and causing the player load to go up quite a bit.
I actually had that one set to 5000ms for a bit instead of 10000ms, but it didn't seem to make a difference at all in this case, the amount of time that passed between the start and stop of the step was the same.
So there seems to be an overall setting somewhere on how long it will give a failing step before giving up.
