  • Microsoft Site Server 3.0

This article was previously published under Q184711

SYMPTOMS

When you run replications under stress, the endpoint may trigger timeout errors. The event IDs are as follows:
15166 Connection to server %1 for project %2 failed. Will attempt to re- establish session" in the NT event log on the stager. In framed mode, the reconnect causes additional events on the endpoints.
15011 MD5 Hash did not match during a transmission. This could indicate transmission failure or that the files transmitted at the source have been modified in transit.

CAUSE

The default timeout is set to low.

WORKAROUND

It may help if you change the settings for the following options:
  • ReceiveTimeout
  • SendTimeout
  • RollBacksToKeep
  1. Go to the command line.
  2. Type the following:

    CRS setglobal ReceiveTimeOut=900000

    -OR-

    CRS setglobal SendTimeout=900000

    -OR-

    CRS setglobal RollBacksToKeep=0

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Site Server version 3.0.
