This reason indicates that EHI didn't respond in the agreed time where a timeout happened.
If the client has selected Gateway Processing with STIP (Mode 4 ), Thredd approves or declines based on the product configuration, as the host is unavailable. If another EHI mode is selected, such as Gateway Processing (Mode 1) or Cooperative Processing (Mode 2), Thredd declines the transaction. You can do the following:
-
Investigate why the External Host did not respond in time.
-
Contact Thredd to assist in any further investigation.

Check the external host for the decline reason.
Smart Client Migration
If you are a Smart Client user, you will need to migrate to Thredd Portal: Cards and Transaction Management. Smart Client provides the same card management functions, but using a legacy Windows interface.

Thredd Portal: Cards and Transaction Management is been designed with self-service in mind. Users can enter their email and be provisioned onto the system by the User Admin role within your organisation. You are in control of who has access to which roles within Thredd Portal.
Secure Access with SSO
You will need to configure secure access to Thredd Portal using Thredd's Identity Provider (IDP). The steps are as follows:
- Thredd adds a ‘User Admin’ for your organisation to the Identity Provider (this information is supplied by the client).
- You can then add your organisation, assign roles and add users in the Identity Provider - this is done by the ‘User Admin’ role which you have chosen in your organisation.
For more information, see the Connecting to Thredd Guide.
A member of our Engineering Security Team can be able to support you during your SSO integration should this be required, however, the process has been designed to be completed with minimal set-up.
