This article applies to Microsoft Dynamics NAV for all countries and all language locales.
Symptoms
When the Outlook Synchronization process is run from Microsoft Office Outlook to synchronize with Microsoft Dynamics NAV 5.0 with Service Pack 1 (SP1), with Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2009 or with Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2009 with SP1, the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Application Server (NAS) produces the following error message:
The response from Microsoft Dynamics NAV has not been received because of connection timeout. Please check if the Microsoft Dynamics NAV server is running and try again later. If the problem persists increase the timeout value in the configuration file.
This problem occurs if the Change Log Entry table (405) contains a large number of records.
Cause
This problem occurs because of one of the following reasons:
-
The last synchronization attempt was not successful.
-
If the synchronization process has not been run recently, a full table scan is performed to verify the changes in the Change Log Entry table (405). This causes a time-out error when the Change Log Entry table contains a large number of records.
