CMS operation timed out

[system]

Through a custom application I am querying a lot of objects in the CMS repository and I have recently started to receive this error:

CMS operation timed out after 9 minutes.

If I reduce the amount of objects that I am querying it works fine.

I do not want to change my query, so is there a way to increase the time out from CMS?

Thanks,
-J

FYI, there is a registry hack to change the time out. We chose not to do this and altered our code instead to loop through the id’s but I thought I would post in case anyone elses wanted to know:

Increase the CMS Thread timeout:

1. In the Windows Registry Editor, browse to the following sub key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Business Objects\Suite 11.0\CMS\Instances<machinename>.cms\ThreadTimeoutAfterNMinutes

2. Double-click the ThreadTimeoutAfterNMinutes String Value.

3. In the Value data text box, increase the number of minutes until it times out. Click OK.

I assume something is wrong with your CMS if it needs 9 minutes to proceed a query…

Check KB 1448881 “Multiple instances spawned after daylight savings time change”
