Sharepoint Client model - request timeout - sharepoint-2010

Question

I am receiving a timeout from the Sharepoint Client Managed Object model.
Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ServerException: The operation has timed out.
Basically, I am batching 100 updates and sending them at one go. It is no problem for me if takes time but I really want to avoid timeout exception.
I have tried in a million of ways to increase the timeout in the client context but they were all without success. I have used reflection to try to identity what the sharepoint is doing when calling the executequery method of the client context. sharepoint is basically creating an HttpWebRequest and sending it.
I have ended with the below code, but still without success:
public static void SetInfinteTimeout(this ClientContext ctx)
{
int timeout = 10 * 60 * 1000;
ctx.RequestTimeout = timeout;
ctx.PendingRequest.RequestExecutor.RequestKeepAlive = false;
ctx.PendingRequest.RequestExecutor.WebRequest.KeepAlive = false;
ctx.PendingRequest.RequestExecutor.WebRequest.Timeout = timeout;
ctx.PendingRequest.RequestExecutor.WebRequest.ReadWriteTimeout = timeout;
System.Net.ServicePointManager.DefaultConnectionLimit = 200;
System.Net.ServicePointManager.MaxServicePointIdleTime = 2000;
System.Net.ServicePointManager.MaxServicePoints = 1000;
System.Net.ServicePointManager.SetTcpKeepAlive(false, 0, 0);
ServicePointManager.DnsRefreshTimeout = timeout; // 10 minutes
}
But I am still receiving a timeout error!
Is there anything else that I am missing please?
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

Have you tried
keeping default KeepAlive (true),
disabling Timeout and
keeping default MaxServicePointIdleTime value (which is 100 seconds by
default but you set to 2).
Just as:
public static void SetInfiniteTimeout(this ClientContext ctx)
{
ctx.RequestTimeout = -1; //ctx.RequestTimeout or System.Threading.Timeout.Infinite;
}
Also, how many seconds it takes for you to get timeout error, in your current configuration?

The solution was to use clientcallablesettings (SPWebApplication.ClientCallableSettings):
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.sharepoint.administration.spwebapplication.clientcallablesettings.aspx
This has an execution timeout property and other related settings.
In my case, I needed to add this in the Upgrade Actions as per the below code
using (SPSite site = new SPSite(siteURL))
using (SPWeb web = site.OpenWeb())
{
site.WebApplication.ClientCallableSettings.ExecutionTimeout = TimeSpan.FromMinutes(60);
site.WebApplication.ClientCallableSettings.MaxObjectPaths = 1000;
site.WebApplication.ClientCallableSettings.MaxResourcesPerRequest = 1000;
site.WebApplication.ClientCallableSettings.EnableStackTrace = true;
site.WebApplication.Update();
}
