GP Webservice - UpdateSalesInvoice error - A transaction exception has been thrown.

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Community Member

Hi,

    We're using GP web service to update our Sale Invoices using the operation UpdateSalesInvoice operation. This only happens when we're pushing 4000 invoice lines, after 40 minutes of processing the GP web service returns the error "A transaction exception has been thrown.  Please attempt operation again."

When I check the Web Service Exceptions Console. The exception message is "The transaction has aborted" and below is the stack trace output.

at System.Transactions.TransactionStateAborted.BeginCommit(InternalTransaction tx, Boolean asyncCommit, AsyncCallback asyncCallback, Object asyncState)

at System.Transactions.CommittableTransaction.Commit()

    In answer to your first question, here is a stackoverflow post on increasing the time out on client and server side, which may allow you to process all of the records in one pass.

    I would recommend spinning up a test environment with the eConnect 2010 SP2 to run a practical test to validate it resolves your issue. You may even try contacting eOne to see if they can validate it for you.

    Hi Harry,  thanks for the info. This helps but our main goal is to be able to send a big transaction without breaking it into smaller transactions. Is there any other suggestion to fix the timeout issue? I saw a posting that says Econnect 2010 SP 2 will resolve this issue but we haven't tried.

    I saw your post and was instantly reminded about a recent post which involved eConnect and multi-threading. I couldn't find the post, but did find the following post, which covers multi-threading and web services in Dynamics GP.

    Perhaps this can help speed your integration and resolve your problem.
