AX SSRS Report times out after 10 minutes (Error: A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond)

AX SSRS Report times out after 10 minutes (Error: A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond)

Sometimes when running a report that is going to return a large data set you may get the following error message after 10 minutes:

"A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond"

Whenever you receive this error the first thing you should look at is your DP class and can performance be improved by rewriting some of your code. If it cant be or this is a default ax report sometimes your only option is to increase the default timeout period.

In order to increase the timeout for an AX SSRS report you need to do the following:

1.) Create a new client config(or copy an existing one.) This is the same config that could be used as your .axc file that is used to access different environments/aos. However this will have larger timeout values in it so only use this on the server mentioned in step 4. You do not need your user's applications config to have these settings.

2.) Update the binding node of "QueryServiceEndPoint" and change the sendTimeout property from "00:10:00" (10 minutes) to whatever timeout value you like in hh:mm:ss format. You can also update any other timeout setting as well if you like. (Just search for 00:10:00 within the document and replace it with your new time)

3.) Save the new config as  "Microsoft.Dynamics.AX.ReportConfiguration.axc" (https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh389774.aspx)

4.) Copy the new file Microsoft.Dynamics.AX.ReportConfiguration.axc into the following folder on your sql/ssrs server (inside of the os/windows file system)

C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSRS11.<AOS>\Reporting Services\ReportServer\bin

Note: This is for a sql2012 instance. If you are running a different version of ms sql please refer to the following TechNet article to find the location of your report server bin folder https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh389774.aspx if you need help locating it.

5.) Run the report and the report should no longer time out. You do not need to restart the aos, sql or ssrs services in order for the changes to take place once the file is in this folder it should now respect your new timeout settings


If this does not fix your issue please refer to the following sites which can also help you on time out issues with ssrs reports

TechNet: Tips to help prevent long-running reports from timing out [AX 2012]

You can also change the timeout settings on ssrs via the following method:

Global timeout setting: Go to site settings > General > Report Timeout > do not timeout report.
Report timeout setting:  Go to the report > Manage > Processing options > Report time out> do not timeout report.


There are also some timeout settings if you connect to the reporting service via sql management studio. Right click on your server node and go to properties > Advanced.


Update: Also see AX SSRS - Regular Processing (SRSReportDataProviderBase) VS PreProcessing (SrsReportDataProviderPreProcess) (fixes timeout issues on reporting)


Update 2: After applying the Microsoft.axc file to the ssrs server you may run into a security issue (Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 Reporting extensions: Error System.Security.Permissions.EnvironmentPermission while running report)

To fix this go to the SSRS installation folder and modify rssrvpolicy.config Report_Expressions_Default_Permissions node from "Execution" to "FullTrust" (https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/axsupport/2012/02/02/microsoft-dynamics-ax-2012-reporting-extensions-error-system-security-permissions-environmentpermission-while-running-report/)
