Trying to Extend Active Directory Import Timeout Value But It Doesn't Seem to Have an Effect

[mfeinman]

Hi all ...

I'm running into the Active Directory import issue described here.

I have repeatedly tried to create the CommandTimeout registry entry and have adjusted the timeout setting, but after I create it and try to run the mgsimport command locally (so I can see the errors, which I can), it still times out after an hour.

Have I created the registry entry correctly?  Here's exactly what it looks like:

Here's the command I am running to try and perform the import manually:

mgsimport -t activedirectory -e c:\temp\myfile.actdir.gz

Here's the ending output where it times out after an hour:

File c:\temp\myfile.actdir.gz: Unexpected exception in importer
File saved to c:\temp\BadLogs\failure
All tasks are complete
Finished importing 1 files in 3640.3s

C:\Program Files (x86)\Flexera Software\FlexNet Manager Platform\Importers\bin>

What am I doing incorrectly? I defined CommandTimeout as a string value; should it be something else?

It's difficult for forum members to provide guidance on environment specific issues, you may be better off contacting Flexera Support.

However, maybe you're running into other timeout settings, e.g., did you run a SQL Profiler during the process?

Thanks,

The decimal value should be of type REG_DWORD.
