Imports to Large Databases May Fail with Error 50002

• Microsoft Site Server version 2.0

SYMPTOMS

The Usage Analyst import module for SQL Server may fail during log file imports to very large databases with the following error message:

RESULTS: Error 50002. S1T00: {Microsoft {ODBC Sql Server Driver: Timeout expired}}

CAUSE

The Usage Analyst import module for SQL Server has a query timeout of 60 seconds for SQL operations to complete. As the SQL database grows, the amount of time required to complete queries during an import may exceed 60 seconds, resulting in the 50002 "Timeout expired" error message.

This problem has been reported in very large databases (exceeding 4 GB in size).

RESOLUTION

The SQL Server connection timeout was increased enough to support multi- gigabyte-sized databases.

To resolve this problem, obtain the following fix or wait for the next Site Server 2.0 service pack.

The fix file should have the following timestamp:

       Import.exe   2/2/98    05:46PM    Version 2.00.0004 

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Site Server version 2.0. A supported fix is now available, but has not been fully regression-tested and should be applied only to systems experiencing this specific problem. Unless you are severely impacted by this specific problem, Microsoft recommends that you wait for the next Service Pack that contains this fix. Contact Microsoft Technical Support for more information.
