If the OS/2 service layer provided with SystemView Agent issues a request to a component and the component takes longer than 15 seconds to respond, the service layer automatically deregisters the component. The service layer then terminates any other outstanding requests to the component. Further requests sent to the component yield an error (RC=1003; CPERR_CI_TERMINATED).

The DMI browser continues to display the component icon until the component is deinstalled. If you attempt to expand the icon after the time-out has occurred, the DMI browser returns an error.
