Hi there,
I've got a bunch of stored procedures run SQL statements over a linked server connection and a couple of times a day I get the following error caught in my try/catch:
Error Number: 121
Error Severity: 16
Error State: 1
Error Procedure:
Error Line: 0
Error Message: TCP Provider: The semaphore timeout period has expired.
The error doesn't occur at any set time, and can occur in different SPs, so it doesn't look like it's a single SQL statement causing the issue.
Given the error this looks to be a network issue, but I'm not sure how I go about getting some more details / tracing over the linked server connection, or why my line number is always 0 (works on other errors).
Are there trace flags I can switch on that might provide me with more details?
SPs are running on a Web Edition 64-bit (10.50.2500) and the linked server is a Standard 64-bit (10.0.5500).
Thanks a lot,
Larry.
