If this is an unlicensed server, you may be in the unfortunate situation where 
you've got one thread.  And so the workflow calls the API program, but the 
workflow itself is blocking the only thread you've got.  No matter how long you 
set the timeout to, it's never enough!

Yes, it's happened to me at least once.  I'm sure I'm not the only person who's 
fallen into this little trap, but it me feel really dumb when I realized what 
was happening...  "D'oh!"

Suddha,

How much time does this program take to complete?
How does that value compare to the ARS Server Timeout setting for
Process Timeout?
