SOAP adapter connection timeout

Question

Hi Friends,


I have an expose a BizTalk Orchestration as a Webservice using the autogenerated publishing wizard which internally calls an service using the Http adapter.

I am getting a connection time out issue.Following is the error.

Error details: The original request has timed out. The response arrived after the timeout interval and it cannot be delivered to the client.

In order to resolve this i had change the connection timeout property on the IIS to big number but its giving the same error.

Can someone help me out.

Have seen the same errors around SOAP and WSE Adapters.
Hope these help.

Answer 2

 

It depends on a couple of things:

1. The keep-alive and timeout setting of the client calling your web service. You can change the timeout of what's calling the web service to a bigger value if it's timing out before BizTalk sends a response.

2. The speed at which your orchestration is returning a response. In your orchestration, do you need to wait until the end of the orchestration before sending a response? Can you make changes to it to send a faster reply on the request-response?

You also need to check if there aren't any pipeline exceptions happening on the SOAP receive. This will cause BizTalk never to send a response to the client and it will eventually timeout and you get that exception in the event log.

Hi
I got it working.What i did is the following.I went to the BizTalk Auto generated webservice on C:\inet\wwwroot & added the following in the web.config file:

<httpRuntime executionTimeout="1200"></httpRuntime>

I just handled this issue for a client today and the httpRuntime executionTimeout value worked for us. The following link is a great troubleshooting guide on errors from use of the SOAP adapter: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd297484(BTS.10).aspx.
