Timeout expired. The timeout period elapsed prior to completion of the operation or the server is not responding.

This error message is due to the server setting of Remote Connection Query Timeout. The default is 600 seconds, or 10 minutes.

We can change the Default value from 600 to any value as we wish, either by using SQL Server Management Studio GUI or by querying system Stored Procedure.

By Query:

EXEC sp_configure 'show advanced options', 1;
GO
RECONFIGURE;
GO
EXEC sp_configure 'Remote Query Timeout', 1200;
GO
RECONFIGURE;

By SSMS GUI:

We can Achieve this by using SSMS GUI. Follow these steps in SQL Server 2012.

Step 1) On Server, Right Click and Go for properties.




























Step 2) Click in Connections as Shown here and Change the Remote Query Timeout value as required.

BIG Data, Hadoop – Chapter 2 - Data Life Cycle

Data Life Cycle The data life cycle is pictorial defined as show below:     As we see, in our current system, we capture/ Extract our data, then we store it and later we process for reporting and analytics. But in case of big data, the problem lies in storing and then processing it faster. Hence Hadoop takes this portion, where it stores the data in effective format (Hadoop distributed File System) and also process using its engine (Map Reduce Engine). Since Map Reduce engine or Hadoop engine need data on HDFS format to process, We have favorable tools available in market to do this operation. As an example, Scoop is a tool which converts RDBMS to HDFS. Likewise we have SAP BOD to convert sap system data to HDFS.
