Is there a way to increase remote query timeout for SQL Azure without increasing DTUs?

I get a timeout selecting rows in my SSIS package... (Complete error details below).

  • The query runs for 3mins in SSMS.
  • My SQL Azure Server has a Standard1 scale (20DTUs).
  • Time elapsed is always 30seconds.
  • I did fix the "Connect Timeout" and set a value of 300 (5mins)

  • I cannot run

    EXEC sp_configure 'remote query timeout', 300 ;

    because it's a SQL Azure.

Aside from increasing DTUs, is there a way to extend the remote connection to the azure server? My only purpose is to run some big queries on SSIS once in a while...

Solution

  • For I/O intensive workloads you should use Premium tiers. Scale up before running those workloads and scale back to Standard when the SSIS package has finished. Please examine DTU consumption while you run the SSIS package, you may find the workload is hitting the tier limits, and throttling occurs.

    Please also set Asynchronous Processing to True. More information about it click here. Set Connect Timeout to zero.

    Hope this helps.
