Environment

Resolving the problem

Increase the timeout for the HTTPConnector30 object of the SOAP Toolkit 3.0. Steps:SOAP Connection Timeout Error in Visual Basic 6.0 Applications

A Visual Basic 6.0 application that extracts a large amount of data may encounter the SOAP error.
The default timeout for the HTTPConnector30 object of the
SOAP Toolkit 3.0 is 30 seconds, which may be insufficient. Visual Basic 6.0 users can modify this
limit by using the setTimeout method to increase the timeout. The setTimeout method signature
is

Public Function setTimeout(timeout As Long)

where timeout is in milliseconds. This method can be used with all services, including the dispatcher.
The following code snippet demonstrates how to set the timeout for the Agent Service to 60 seconds.

Set Connector = CreateObject("MSSOAP.HttpConnector30")
Connector.Property("Timeout") = 99999999
