Whiteboard
There is a bug in 2.0.5.x and 2.1.0.1 agent disabling ability to control execution timeout from server. It will be fixed in 2.1 final release.
Controlling execution timeout is a feature already available in 2.1 server and setting it to 0 disable this time out.
I don't think it is a good idea to disable by default this timeout. When a package setup reaches this timeout (120 minutes by default), most of the time, it appends because setup crashes. Setting this timeout to INFINITE results a agent blocked, waiting for the end of a setup which will never end...
If you encounter case when setup take more than 120 minutes, it is better to increase this timeout into server configuration, than setting it to INFINITE.
Regards
