    Hi Tin,

    You can solve this issue by doing two things.

    1. Change the plugin to outside the sandbox.For this, open "RegisterFile.crmregister" file and change IsolationMode. IsolationMode="None"

    2.  Change time out setting  in application server  web.config file.

    Please refer the thread below.

    Hi Tin,

    CRM Online has a 2 minute time out or plugins/workflows.  If you are using CRM Online, you will have to update your custom workflow to update records in batches.  

    For example, you could have a custom config entity which store a counter. Then run the workflow and update let's say 1000 records.  Then update the counter in the config record (i.e. to 1000) and start the same workflow as a child workflow and exit the original workflow.  That way you avoid the timeout per workflow session.  To update 200,000 records, this design will create 200 workflow sessions.

    Hope this helps.

    Cheers,

    Nadeeja

    Hi Tin, if you are onpremise register the plugin outside the sandbox or review the plugin code to make the execution shorter

    Register the plugin outside the sandbox;

    open "RegisterFile.crmregister" file and change IsolationMode.

    IsolationMode="None"

    Or Change the time out setting  in application server  web.config file .

    httpRuntime executionTimeout=”300″ /> 1..NET 3.0: “timespan” attribute.  Default is 110 seconds.

    You can also try temporarily increasing the timeout settings on the CRM Server;

    Hope that helps :)
