    Quite randomly, and seemingly only in a production environment I am getting timeouts whilst updating the Contact entity. The trace files are not showing me anything (as far as I can tell). Here's the code:

    Dim update As TargetUpdateDynamic = New TargetUpdateDynamic
    update.Entity = retrievedEntity
    Dim Request As UpdateRequest = New UpdateRequest
    Request.Target = update
    m_CrmServ.Execute(Request) 'timeout HERE

    Yeah, that's kind of what I'm getting at.  But it could be something a little more complicated like Cascading actions, because the update includes owner information and therefore causes the platform to spend more time on core operations.

    Could you put the code in a Try/Catch with a soap exception to get a detailed error?

    Try
	Dim update As TargetUpdateDynamic = New TargetUpdateDynamic 
	update.Entity = retrievedEntity
	Dim Request As UpdateRequest = New UpdateRequest 
	Request.Target = update
	m_CrmServ.Execute(Request) 'timeout HERE
Catch ex As System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException
	Throw New InvalidPluginExecutionException(" (" & ex.Detail.InnerText & ")")
End Try

    Hi,

    are there any plugins or workflows for the contact entity which could stall the execution?
    Does this happen only for the contact entity or anything else? If it happens for other things, make sure that the infrastructure (DNS, Proxies, ...) work.

    Maybe you should take a look at this:

    I have discovered that the contact does indeed have a plugin; forgive me as I'm new to plugins but I have added the try/catch above and am getting 'InvalidPluginExecutionException is not defined' despite adding Namespace Microsoft.Crm.Sdk.Walkthrough.

    The walktrough library is not necessary for soapplugin exceptions.

    If I'm correct you need to use:
    Imports System.Web.Services


    Because SOAP are webservices messages

    I already use:
    Imports System.Web.Services
    Imports System.Web.Services.Protocols
    Imports System.ComponentModel
    Imports KF_CRM_VB_WS.crmServ
    Imports KF_CRM_VB_WS.MetadataSdk
    Imports System.Xml
    Imports System.Net
    Imports System.IO
    Imports System.Reflection
    Imports log4net
    Imports KF_CRM_VB_WS.SqlDataProvider
    Imports System.Data.SqlClient

    What message and entity does your Plugin fire on?  What information have you retrieved for the Contact, that you're rewriting back into the system with the Update?

    Hi,

    make sure that your plugin doesn't trigger a update itself, if its registered for the message update on contact. This will start an infinite loop.
