Unable to Add Object using Object Spy due to SQL Server Query Timeout  

Problem: When adding an object using an Object Spy, the following error message is displayed.

"The last transaction failed. Ensure that you are connected to the database and the Qualitia server before you try this operation again."

Summary: Check if the SQL Server database is connected. If there is no problem with the database connection, then the problem is with query timeout.

This error occurs because the default timeout to query the database is 30 seconds. You can open the log file located at the file location:

• %ProgramData%\Qualitia\WD\Server\logs\app.js.log

The log file contains the following text:

• Error while running query with SQL Server: Query Timeout:\ProgramData\Qualitia\WD\Server\logs\app.js.log

Solution: To solve this issue, increase the timeout to query the database.

Perform the following actions:

1. Open the Qualitia Server Settings file.
2. Set the value of DatabaseQueryTimeout that you want.
