Timeout Question about Invoking a Remote WCF Service

When I invoke a remote WCF service I get the following timeout:

The request channel timed out while waiting for a reply after 00:00:59.2810338. Increase the timeout value passed to the call to Request or increase the SendTimeout value on the Binding. The time allotted to this operation may have been a portion of a longer timeout.

Please note that I am sending a single object which is LOADED with a LOT of data.

Any ideas how to fix this issue and is this a problem on the client (ME) or the Server.

Chunk your data into smaller pieces if possible and try again. This is a server setting that you will need to work around or request that the service provider increase it.

That would be ideal to chunk it into smaller pieces but the problem is that the remote service excepts a single object parameter and that object is populated like crazy!

I hope you're a paying customer and can either get them to up their timeout setting then.

I am thinking that it should be related to the receiveTimeout="00:10:00" sendTimeout="00:01:00". Looks like SendTimeout is set to 1 minute.

Even if you can set a timeout value in your request, it might not be able to exceed the value on the server.

If the server or the owner of the WCF service increase the timeout values and then I do update service ref should I get the latest timeout values or do I have to update them manually.

As long as (server-timeout-setting) > (time-needed-to-process-your-request < request-timeout-parameter) you won't need to update your request values.

Without a stack trace I'm can't be 100% sure, but I'm relatively certain this is a client side exception. If you know it's going to take more than a minute to send the data all you need to do is change the sendTimeout on your binding to be whatever amount of time you need it to be.

I set it up to 1 hour on the client side App.config file but I still got the same error back.

azamsharp 2009-10-29 20:27:13

Can you post the full stack trace please??

Given the size, have you tried increasing your maxBufferSize/maxReceivedMessageSize in your binding?

You mean Client binding right? If so I have not done so! I will check it out. Thanks!
