Web Server Timeout Errors

---

If synchronization times are long due to the size of the database file or the speed of the network connection, your end users may encounter Web server timeout errors and synchronization failures. First try to resolve this problem by reducing the size of your extract and configuring your server performance. If after doing this, your end users continue to experience timeout errors, then increase the timeout parameter on IIS for the default Web Server.

Follow the procedure for your platform to change the timeout parameter.

From the Internet Information Services window, select the local machine, right-click on the Default Web Site, and select Properties from the pop-up list.
From the Web Site Properties window, select the Web Site tab.
Under the Connections heading, locate the Connection Timeout property and increase the number of seconds.
Click OK.
