Hello Everyone,

When i execute below mentioned part in sql for sending sms using web service, getting error as The operation timed out. i don't know why this error is coming now. it was working perfectly.

The error I get is:

Error while executing sp_OAMethod Send [SQLSTATE 01000] (Message 0) -2147012894 [SQLSTATE 01000] (Message 0) msxml3.dll [SQLSTATE 01000] (Message 0) The operation timed out [SQLSTATE 01000] (Message 0).

This is the part of the stored procedure where error occurs:

SQL

EXEC @hr = master.dbo.sp_OAMethod @xml, 'Send', NULL, @senddata 
IF @hr <> 0
BEGIN
    EXEC master.dbo.sp_OAGetErrorInfo @xml, @src OUTPUT, @desc OUTPUT
    PRINT 'Error while executing sp_OAMethod Send'
    PRINT @hr 
    PRINT @src --SELECT convert(varbinary(4),@hr) hr, @src [Src], @desc [desc]
    PRINT @desc 
    RETURN 0
END

Please help solve this issue,

Thanks in advance.

How much time it is taking to execute the SP and throwing error.

You need to increase Timeoutproperty to get result.

If it is ADO.NET:

C#

SqlCommand command = new SqlCommand();
// Setting command timeout to 120 second(2 minute)
command.CommandTimeout = 120;

If it is EntityFramework:

C#

this.context.CommandTimeout = 120;

Secondly you need to find why your SP/Function is taking time to execute. You can use SQl Server profiler to get exact issue. Please go through below link that will help you to improve performance.
