We have some longer running web service methods that we would like to call using a Webservice/WCF execute task. Is there a way we can set a timeout? This would be a timeout for the web service call not for the task. We are getting the following error: Exception in Task: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. The operation has timed out.

Thanks

After how long time and are you using WCF mode or Web service mode?

---

It is a WCF service, it can vary but it can take 3 or 4 minutes.

What kind of binding is it? Is it BasicHTTP so you use the web service method anyway?

---

Also, have you checked the values like:

closeTimeout="00:01:00"
openTimeout="00:01:00" receiveTimeout="00:10:00" sendTimeout="00:01:00"

from the configuration file?

---

Since this is a client side time out are you talking about setting these values in a VisualCron configuration. The server side is already set with a sendTimeout of 25 minutes.

You are right. You said it was a WCF service but do you use Web service or WCF mode in the settings?

---

Sorry not quite following your question. Are you talking about a setting on the VisualCron Task? The task type is set to Webservice/WCF execute. I do not see another setting for Web service or WCF mode. We are using version 5.63 protocol version 5.6.2

Thanks for the report. We see now that we use the default timeout of 100 seconds. We will add timeout properties for next version.

This will be released in the beta forum this weekend - in version 5.8.0.
