Post-hotfix installation information

After you install the hotfix, the default MSDE time-out period for a query is 150 seconds. However, you may change the MSDE time-out period by using a script. To do this, follow these steps:

1. Copy the following code, and then paste it into Notepad.

   Option Explicit
   Dim root
   Dim arr
   Dim logging
   Dim objArgs
   Dim WriteMode
   WriteMode = false
   Set objArgs = WScript.Arguments
   If objArgs.Count > 0 Then
   	WriteMode = true
   End If
   'Create the root ISA Server object
   Set root = CreateObject("FPC.Root")
   'Get the arrays collection
   Set arr = root.GetContainingArray
   Set logging = arr.Logging
   WScript.Echo     "***************************************"
   If WriteMode Then
   	WScript.Echo "* Set MSDEQueryTimout value (seconds) *"
   Else
   	WScript.Echo "* Get MSDEQueryTimout value (seconds) *"
   End If
   WScript.Echo     "***************************************"
   WScript.Echo	 "Retrieve the current MSDEQueryTimeout value:"
   Script.Echo     "Syntax: ""cscript.exe MSDEQueryTimeout.vbs"""
   WScript.Echo	 " "
   WScript.Echo	 "Set the MSDEQueryTimeout value:"
   WScript.Echo     "Syntax: ""cscript.exe MSDEQueryTimeout.vbs 500"""
   WScript.Echo	 " "
   WScript.Echo	 " "
   If WriteMode Then
   	Logging.MSDEQueryTimeout = CInt(objArgs(0))
   	logging.Save
   	WScript.Echo "MSDEQueryTimeout = " & logging.MSDEQueryTimeout
   Else
   	WScript.Echo "MSDEQueryTimeout = " & logging.MSDEQueryTimeout
   End If
   

2. Save this Notepad file as MSDEQueryTimeout.vbs.
3. Run the following command from the location where you saved the file:

   Cscript MSDEQueryTimeout.vbs Time

   Note Time is the new MSDE time-out period that you want to specify in seconds. The default MSDE time-out period is 150 seconds.
