This causes the SSIS package to continue to use resources until the command can complete. Our team does not usually recommend having the connection timeout set to unlimited. Because of this, it only presents a problem if the goal is to set the ‘Connect Timeout’ setting to unlimited. The setting falsely registers as null if a number higher than 0 is not specified. I ran the test SSIS package I created and duplicated the timeout error they received. In this example, the resulting connection string was as followed: Data Source= Initial Catalog=Test Provider=SQLNCLI11.1 Integrated Security=SSPI Auto Translate=False It registered as being null when saved, and ‘Connect Timeout’ was not specified in the connection string. Though ‘Connect Timeout’ was set to 15 seconds by default, there was a 0 in the space next to it. The issue occurred when I went to the ‘All’ tab. I started by creating a simple OLE DB connection through the connection manager. The instances and databases used are on XTIVIA test servers.
ACROSYNC CONNECTION TIMEOUT UPDATE
I decided to attempt to duplicate their problem.Īll testing was done in Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 Update 3. This should have displayed in the connection string and prevented the error they received. Setting the ‘Connect Timeout’ to 0 gives the SSIS package an unlimited amount of time to attempt connection. To my surprise, the client responded that they initially set the ‘Connect Timeout’ in the Visual Studio’s connection manager to 0 per their documentation. We recommended they set the ‘Connect Timeout’ high enough to account for any network hiccups.

This means that it was set to the default setting, 15 seconds. I checked for a ‘Connect Timeout’ setting in the connection string and noticed that it was not specified.

Check if instance name is correct and if SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections.
