• The fix for the data warehouse BULK insert commands time-out issue that is described in Update Rollup 5 for System Center 2012 Operations Manager Service Pack 1 describes a registry key that the user can add to set the time-out (in seconds) for the data warehouse bulk insert commands. The following is the registry setting that controls the time-out value when new data is inserted into the data warehouse.
  
  The registry subkey is as follows:
  
  

  Registry key:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Microsoft Operations Manager\3.0\Data Warehouse
  DWORD Name: Bulk Insert Command Timeout Seconds
  Value data:nn
  
  Note The placeholder nn represents a value in seconds. For example, set the value data to 40 for a 40-second time-out.
