By default, the ControlPoint SQL Command timeout value is set to 300 seconds. This value represents the amount of time that ControlPoint will wait for a SQL command to run before issuing the following message:
[Method Name]Timeout Exception: The server has timed out.
The default value should be sufficient in most cases. However, for an exceptionally large or busy farm, the ControlPoint Application Administrator may need to increase the Value of the ControlPoint Setting SQL Command Timeout Value.
NOTE: This is an Advanced Setting.
NOTE: Remember, this value is specified in seconds.
