Timeout expired

  • I have an application with a Purge functionality. When I execute the SP from SQL Server 2005, it gets executed successfully, when I perform Purge thorugh the application, it says purge successful.

    The tester has now reported the following

    ERROR MESSAGE:

    Timeout expired. The timeout period elapsed prior to completion of the operation or the server is not responding.

    Any clue what this means?

  • Hi

    SQL waits for a certain amount of time for doing a task and even after waiting if its not possible to do the task it gives a time out error.

    there are many reasons for this...

    locking , network issues , server not running etc.

    check out BOL it has some info on Timeouts..

  • Thanks! I will definitely check it out..

    The problem has been resolved for now. The tester was just being a jerk. No need to elaborate further.

  • The error is clear from the application(client) you are not able to connect to the sql server.

    >>Check if the coonection string in the application is set correctly or not.

    >> Check are you able to ping the Server from the application machine

    >> Check with sys admin if network is the issue
