Linked Server error

  • Hi ,

    SQL job is failing with following error.Linked server (MyLinkedServer) is configured using 'Be made using the login's current security context'. Job runs fine most of the time but once in a while it fails with below error.Soon after the failure if I rerun the job it runs without any error. I am stuggling to understand the root caue. I don't see any errors in SQL or Windows logs...please help me resolve this.

    Message

    Executed as user: . Error (7421) has occured while executing the query1 method. Reason: Cannot fetch the rowset from OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI10" for linked server "MyLinkedServer". . [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 50000) OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI10" for linked server "MyLinkedServer" returned message "Query timeout expired". [SQLSTATE 01000] (Error 7412). The step failed.

  • As an immediate workaround you could increase the timeout .

    But investigate the underlying reason why the tomeout occurs - for example are there resource issues which causes the query to take a longer time than expected ?

    Have you checked the source and target server event viewer and sql server error log files?

  • Thanks.

    Checked SQL error and evenlogs can't find any erros

    I have set the below on both source and destination server .Hope it works

    sp_configure 'remote query timeout', 0

    go

    reconfigure with override

    go
