Hi Abhinav.
The dashboard displays a message if it takes more than 30 seconds for a communication from the application. It's possible to have timeouts in any communications based system, and the message is telling you you're getting one.
I'm assuming you're running everything for PMF to do demos on one laptop - database, server, client, caster, the browser itself, and possibly running in VMWare, and that with McAfee VirusScan on, and maybe some other apps running too? Maybe the laptop doesn't have a lot of free memory? Maybe you have other processes running, like Skype, a couple other browsers open, etc?
If that's the case, you might want to either turn off some apps to give your PC a little breathing room, because running everything on one single PC can make things a bit tight. If you don't want to do any of those things, you can also lengthen the timeout. Right now that's a change to a file.
in pmf_lib.js, which is in /approot/mainstreet:
~ Line 814
/*
….
Ajax timeout 30 sec == 30000 ms and the ajax will close out...
*/
var ajax_timeout = 30000 ;
The number for ajax_timeout is in milliseconds. You can increase it to a full minute for example by setting it to 60000.
In a future release, just for those doing demos (as in testing we found this doesn't happen in a customer enviro), we'll make this a setting from the Settings panel, so you don't have to edit anything.
Hope this helps.
