I found the following error message being returned from infusionsoft API, how to resolve this error?

What is the cause of this error message?

#2

If it’s just an occasional message then it’s the DB service running out of resources from time to time (usually) but if you get this every time then it’s likely a DB authentication problem. In that case, the DBMS just sits there and doesn’t return anything until the server times it out.

#3

Kumar, is this related to running a Query or Saved Search?

If the search is quite complex and running it on a big database, you will probably get these type of warnings.

If it is a Saved Search I would try reducing the number of fields you are displaying. Or try reducing the number of fields you are querying on to see if it makes a difference.

If you can provide more information that would help.

Thanks
