Hi all,
We recently migrated a data center containing several database and ASP
web service servers. We have a Windows Forms application that runs on
200+ user desktops and it does all database access through a web
service middle tier running in the new data center location.
After the migration most everyone is working fine however one of our
"far away and really remote" locations has started experiencing
lockups and timeouts when communicating with the web service tier. We
will NOT be able to back out of the data center migration and there is
little to no chance that the "really remote" location will be upgraded
to a higher bandwidth connection.
This leaves me with the option of increasing web request timeouts from
the client side. Is there any way to increase a web service request
timeout via a configuration file? If not from the config file is
there anything I can do at the machine.config or even OS level that
would extend the timeouts on the web service requests??
