Deployment of 1.5GB File Times Out

Hi
Is there a way to extend the timeout from 30mins to some longer time?
Very best
John

What type of deployment are you doing? We regularly deploy via migration very large files weekly.

Hi it’s a standard deployment - when I test using smaller file everything is over within 30 seconds or so but with the 1.5GB file it times out.
Worth mentioning that the production server is not in the same building as the development server although they both have fast internet connections.
Thanks for any help

I think this may well be the answer but I’ll investigate further :smile:

Hey @futurepacer ,

Is you deployment timing out during the Just in Time build? Usually that means there is an issue of some sort on your source server as builds should never take that long if everything is working properly. You can increase that timeout using env variables, or you can test by running the build by itself before you start the deployment. I’d recommend restarting FileMaker Server on your source server if you can, as it may kick the fmsadmin tool into working faster, it can get slowed down randomly.

Hi Kyle
Yes, during the JIT build. All great advice so I’ll

  • restart and run the build before deploying
    then if that doesn’t help I’ll
  • increase the time-out as you suggest
    I’ll report back on progress :slight_smile:
    Thanks again
    John

the deployment on it’s own took only 7 seconds so it’s not that :joy:
I’ll run the whole thing again later this evening when there’s nobody using the destination file and see what happens. Watch this space :slight_smile:
