So when you restart the service tier you can again run for a while and then it crashes?

are there any entries in the Event Log?

kamranshehzad · 2009-09-06

Yes... the service was nav business service was initially crashing but then i put it on aut restart..
and it works for a while like 2-3 mins and then it starts failing... it starts returning unable to connect to the remote server error....

i used both IIS and vs dev webservers...

event log has only error entry

Service: 
User: EASYCOM\Administrator
Type: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException
Class: 11
LineNumber: 0
Number: -2
Server: NAVISION
State: 0
Source: .Net SqlClient Data Provider
ErrorCode: -2146232060
Message: Timeout expired.  The timeout period elapsed prior to completion of the operation or the server is not responding.

and it didn't happen after a server restart.. but still getting unable to connect to remote server..

regards

That looks like an event log on the client - are there anything on the service tier.
The timeout is probably because the service tier has crashed - and the event log on the service tier could hopefully tell you why?
(uncompiled codeunits or other things)

kamranshehzad · 2009-09-07

event log was of server...running navision..
i did recompile all code units / xmlports related to project....

is there any other time out settings??
