    BulletinsGUIDString = "a6cc554c-94a0-40e0-a8e6-ecfef5357ea9,1ef57758-d156-444f-b329-fc30657459f2,74e589c1-0691-441c-9498-98861c20f9ae,4b710568-c976-4a52-bb0c-9c1e56e8c948,3c6081d7-1718-43e4-9995-e05dc552e1cb,c02da54e-909b-4854-b1e2-1fd1b9fd4642,e05bd78a-6a99-40f4-a602-c37f725b3623,5e436d87-a031-4a0d-962d-23f0bbd6801c,c0a40764-faad-44ca-a856-dab2c382a143,299d2c18-ad8e-48ec-9dc5-e7f1bd4ec1dd,4e27b46b-0b3a-40fb-a37b-d7fcd7dace3c,e76655da-6e45-4028-8d39-715512173af3,2e36beca-1893-4e50-b5ea-1e099c9c5011,2dcb7efb-f89a-40e7-bb1d-e53233c37aeb,4ce10aa5-09e0-4750-ad0f-4e0e5117af2a,990f227b-b809-4fb9-80b1-c19c334629a3,fb452015-2657-417d-84c6-6b86f335f39f,c8eb640e-a061-4185-bfc8-0b172228c55f,366bc583-8539-4f33-9362-ae7bcccc97f5,1925831b-b163-4026-b7d5-4fe1b4f3f8d3,d8b4719e-64da-40b6-a574-5b4d9eb75290,f221f45a-61b0-4f0f-9f4b-7b281e892c7b"
    ErrorMessage = "The operation has timed out"
    LastComponent = "Ensure Staged"
    ModelID = "7e82176f-0fe0-11e2-85c7-005056a27acc"
    ReportProcessID = "Patch-0Day-000275"
    StackTrace = "   at System.Web.Services.Protocols.WebClientProtocol.GetWebResponse(WebRequest request)

       at LogicBase.Core.ExecutionEngine.AbstractExecutionEngine.RunComponent(TLExecutionContext context, IData data, IOrchestrationComponent comp)"

     

    This happens at "ensure staged" Component. Any Ideas?

     

    Best Regards

    There seems to be a number of Bulletins in the 

    BulletinsGUIDString 

    If you try just one does it work?

    Another option is to up the timeout property in the web.config, it's default is ~120 seconds / 2 minutes.

    <httpRuntime 
      executionTimeout="110" 
    />

    You could also pre-stage the patches.

    Hi Stephan,

    Is this the first time you are running it? It is most likely timing out due to a large number of patches it is downloading during the process. For example, if you have 10 patches required all at 1GB each, it will attempt to download 10GB of data mid-process of the workflow.

    Either of Alex's suggestions will resolve this:

    • Extending the timeout will allow this to run for longer and download the required patches mid-process.
    • Pre-staging the patches in the console will download these before running the workflow, therefore not holding up and timing out mid-process.

    Thanks

    Hello,

    wow this was quick.
    I will try to download the patches with console and rerun the workflow.

    How can I trigger the download of any patch automatical in console?

    Best Regards and thank you very much,
    Stephan

    If you open the Report 'Windows Compliance by Bulletin' and amend the Filters to get any Bulletins.

    Reports | Software | Patch Management | Compliance | Windows Compliance by Bulletin

    You can then right click on a Bulletin and Download Packages

    If you want to see the progress of these downloads check the Task at

    Tasks | Jobs and Tasks | System Jobs and Tasks | Software | Patch Management | Download Software Update Package

    That one must already be downloaded/staged.

    If you use the filter/dropdown - Distribution Status: Downloaded, then click Run, it will likely show in that list, along with your other downloaded/staged patches.

    Try another one and let me know.

    Which Report are you using?

    If you look at the Task (listed previously) are any of the Bulletins listed and what is the status?
