The following message is also seen in the PollerWebServiceLog in the NetVoyant Console:
WebService: [0.65625] NetVoyantService - GetDeviceList(): nqPoller
PullDeviceItems - back from GetDeviceList
Caught exception in NPC Sync PullSystem.Threading.ThreadAbortException: Thread was being aborted.
at nqpoller.PullSyncRequest.AddDeviceItem(DataTable items, DataRow src)
at nqpoller.PullSyncRequest.PullDeviceItems(SyncTime syncTime, SyncUpdateState& syncUpdateState)
at nqpoller.PullSyncRequest.Pull(SyncTime syncTime, SyncUpdateState syncUpdateState)
Solution:
Timeout is caused by a large number of DNS lookups being performed by NPC during NV device sync.
As long as they're at NV 7.1.25 patched, you can adjust the DeviceBatchSize in the PollerWebService Web.config to reduce the batch size of the devices being synched and consequently limit the number of DNS lookups being performed.
Editing the web.config file
- Open D:\NetVoyant\Portal\WebServices\PollerWebService\Web.config in Notepad.
- Add the following lines under the <appSettings> tag or edit if not already present:
<add key="poller.npc.BatchSize" value="5000"/>
<add key="poller.npc.DeviceBatchSize" value="500"/> - Save the file.
- Run the command "iisreset".
- Restart the NetVoyant Service Manager.
- Verify that NPC<->NV Sync Now Completes Successfully
