sql server replication:
Hi,

How can I or where should I go to adjust the time-out
range for a replication job and its agent on sql server
2000?

Many thanks.

In Replication Monitor, expand your agents folder, and
then expand the merge agents folder. Locate your merge
agent, right click on it, select agent properties, select
run agent, click on edit and at the very end of the
command string add

-QueryTimeout 300

which means 300 seconds. Use this if you get the
enumerate or query metadata message.

Most of the time on our toplologies which involve ISDN and
lower bandwidths I find I have to change the LoginTimeout
setting to something like

-LoginTimeout 60 setting

I do this when I get the Could not connect to publisher or
subscriber message.

Then stop and start your agents.

Note that there is the slow link profile which also may
work for you - it doesn't work well for us, but it is
designed to address your apparent problem.

thanks, Hilary, for the valuable input. I should have
pointed out to you earlier that we are not doing any merge
replication, we are only doing transactional replication.
But I assume your method should work the same.

Thanks!

Hi, Hilary,

time out 300 v.s. 600, which one waits longer? 'cause my
current setting is 600.
