Replication "Timeout exceeded" error


Replication "Timeout exceeded" error gosound

sql server replication:
Hello everyone,

During our nightly replication we replicate a table SERV from a third party.
This table contains codes for all open and closed orders from the past 2
years. It is around 3 - 3.5 GB of total data. The console starts the first
attempt around 2145 - 2130 and the table runs until around 0100 - 0200.
Every night the first attempt throws an exception with "Timeout exceeded".
This only occurs while we are transferring other large tables simultaneously.
If SERV is running by itself no exception is thrown. The problem is the
timeout is set to expire at 8 hours and the timeout exception is being thrown
between 2 - 4 hours.

Microsoft has a hotfix addressing the exact issue we were experiencing, but
did not seem to work.

Thanks

what is your commitbatchsize, if its the default I would drop it to 1000.

Also are you using snapshot replication? Any way you could use
transactional?

This is a custom process utilizing the SqlBulkCopy component of the .Net 2.0
framework.

Full table replication is required because the data is refreshed once a day
and does not identify new records.
