  • The fix for the data warehouse BULK insert commands timeout issue described in Update Rollup 1 for System Center 2012 R2 Operations Manager adds a registry key that can be used to set the time-out value (in seconds) for the data warehouse BULK insert commands. These are the commands that insert new data into the data warehouse.Note This key must be manually added on any management server on which you want to override the default BULK insert command timeout.

    Registry location:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Microsoft Operations Manager\3.0\Data WarehouseDWORD name: Bulk Insert Command Timeout SecondsDWORD Value: 40Note Set this value in seconds. For example, for a 40-second time-out, set this value to 40.

We recommend that you install this update rollup package by following these steps in the given order:

  1. Install the update rollup package on the following server infrastructure:

    • Management server or servers

    • Gateway servers

    • Web console server role computers

    • Operations console role computers

  2. Apply SQL scripts (see installation information).

  3. Manually import the management packs.

  4. Apply the agent update to manually installed agents, or push the installation from the Pending view in the Operations console.

Note If the Connected MG/Tiering feature is enabled, you should first update the top tier of the Connected MG/Tiering feature.
