public void SetDatabaseTimeout(
DatabaseTimeoutType timeoutType,
int timeout
)
Parameters
timeoutType
Type: WebSvcAdmin.DatabaseTimeoutTypeThe only value available in Project Server 2010 is the Core constant (value = 0), which specifies the core databases.
timeout
Type: System.Int32Specifies the timeout (in seconds) for internal SQL calls to the core Project Server databases.
Remarks
Tip
In some Project Server deployments, the default database timeout is not enough. If a Project Server job fails due to a SQL timeout error, an administrator can increase the database timeout setting by using the SetDatabaseTimeout method, and then retry the job.
The default value and the minimum value are 30 seconds. The maximum value is the Int32 maximum, or 2147483647 seconds (over 15 years).
To set the SQL command timeout for the Project queue or the Timesheet queue, you can use the SetQueueConfiguration method, or use the Queue Settings page in Project Web App (https://ServerName/ProjectServerName/_layouts/pwa/Admin/queuesettings.aspx).

Examples
To use the following Windows PowerShell script, save the script in a file named, for example, Set-DatabaseTimeout.ps1. Run the SharePoint 2010 Management Shell as an administrator (in the Microsoft SharePoint 2010 Projects folder of the Start menu), navigate to the directory where you saved the Set-DatabaseTimeout.ps1 file, and then type the following command, for example, to set the timeout value to 60 seconds: .\Set-DatabaseTimeout 60

## Set-DatabaseTimeout
## Uses the Admin web service of the PSI to call the SetDatabaseTimeout method.
## The script user must have Project Server administrator permissions.
## To run on your Project Server installation, change the $pwaUrl value.
## Argument:
## Integer secTimeout -- Timeout in seconds, 30 to 2147483647 (15+ years).
## Example:
## .\Set-DatabaseTimeout 1800
## -- Sets the database timeout to 1800 seconds (30 minutes).
