SmartViews - How To - Extend Query Timeout

In some cases, you may want to extend the connection timeout in SmartViews if the query takes longer than the default 30 seconds to execute.  To do this:

Edit / Create a New View, select your database connection, then click "Edit"


When the Connection Wizard opens, click on "Advanced"


Scroll the advanced options until you see "Connect Timeout" and raise the limit.  (This field is in seconds):



Click OK here, and in the main Connection Wizard to save these changes.  Sync afterwards so this connection change can be synced on other SmartViews machines.

Warning
Please note that extending the connection timeout can cause performance issues on the database.  The query itself should always be investigated first and optimized before choosing to extend the connection timeout.
