Hi All,
I have some jobs (in the form of .EXE executions) which connect to 2 or sometimes 3 SQL servers (all SQL 2005)
However, these jobs seem to fail occasionally (every alternate day) due to errors similar to the one below:
**Error messages (at different times):**
1. An error occured at database level : System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Timeout expired. The timeout period elapsed prior to completion of the operation or the server is not responding.
2. An error occured at database level : System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Timeout expired. The timeout period elapsed prior to completion of the operation or the server is not responding
The job runs some stored procedures. The server on which the databases and instance is located have the below memory allocation:
Instance 1 - 750
Instance 2 - 700
Instance 3 - 128
Max RAM on server: 3.75GB
The connection is made using connection strings. The job is executed from one server and connects to SQL instances residing on another physical server.
Questions:
1. Can the timeout errors be related to low memory allocation ?
2. If not, what may the reason of the error?
