How do you set the command timeout in SSIS?

Question

I have a datareader source firing some sql which takes longer than 30 seconds to run, so it's timing out. I can not find a command timeout property on the datareader source component, or the data flow task. Is there some way to set a longer command timeout in SSIS?

what version of SQL Server are you running? – Lepidus

Answer 1

Right Click on the Datareader source and click edit. Go to Tab Component Properties and under Group Custom Properties has CommandTimeout

All I have for properties on the Custom Properties group is SqlCommand and UserComponentTypeName – Savoy

I am using VS.net 2005. But I think that shouldn't be an issue with VS.net 2008. Its strange that property is missing. Try OLE Db Data Source. See if that has the property. – Executor

Yup, the OLE DB Source has a command timeout, but the DataReader Source does not! – Savoy

Answer 2

I see there is a hotfix for this, I don't know if it applies to you or not: Hotfix link

This says its for the web service task, does it apply to the datareader source component too? – Savoy
