SMO ConnectionContext.StatementTimeout setting is ignored

问题

I am successfully using Powershell with SMO to backup most databases. However, I have several large databases in which I receive a "timeout" error "System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Timeout expired". The timout consistently occurs at 10 minutes. I have tried setting ConnectionContext.StatementTimeout to 0, 6000, and to [System.Int32]::MaxValue. The setting made no difference. I have found a number of Google references which indicate setting it to 0 makes it unlimited. No matter what I try, the timeouts consistently occur at 10 minutes. I even set Remote Query Timeout on the server to 0 (via Studio Manager) to no avail. Below is my SMO connection where I set the time out and the actual backup function. Further below is the output from my script.

UPDATE Interestingly enough, I wrote the backup function in C# using VS 2008 and the timeout override does work within that environment. I am in the process of incorporating that C# process into my Powershell Script until I can find out why the timeout override does not work with just Powershell. This is extremely annoying!

function New-SMOconnection {
    Param ($server, 
        $ApplicationName= "PowerShell SMO", 
        [int]$StatementTimeout = 0
    )
#    Write-Debug "Function: New-SMOconnection $server $connectionname $commandtimeout"
    if (test-path variable:\conn) {
        $conn.connectioncontext.disconnect()
    } else {
        $conn = New-Object('Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.Server') $server
    }
    $conn.connectioncontext.applicationName = $applicationName
    $conn.ConnectionContext.StatementTimeout = $StatementTimeout
    $conn.connectioncontext.Connect()
    $conn
}

$smo = New-SMOConnection -server $server
if ($smo.connectioncontext.isopen -eq $false) {
    Throw "Could not connect to server $($server)."
}

Function Backup-Database {
Param([string]$dbname)
$db = $smo.Databases.get_Item($dbname)
if (!$db) {"Database $dbname was not found"; Return}
$sqldir = $smo.Settings.BackupDirectory +  "\$($smo.name -replace ("\\", "$"))"
$s = ($server.Split('\'))[0]
$basedir = "\\$s\" + $($sqldir -replace (":", "$"))

$dt = get-date -format yyyyMMdd-HHmmss        
$dbbk = new-object ('Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.Backup')        
$dbbk.Action = 'Database'        
$dbbk.BackupSetDescription = "Full backup of " + $dbname        
$dbbk.BackupSetName = $dbname + " Backup"        
$dbbk.Database = $dbname        
$dbbk.MediaDescription = "Disk"  
$target = "$basedir\$dbname\FULL"
if (-not(Test-Path $target)) { New-Item $target -ItemType directory | Out-Null}
$device = "$sqldir\$dbname\FULL\" + $($server -replace("\\", "$")) + "_" + $dbname + "_FULL_" + $dt + ".bak"
$dbbk.Devices.AddDevice($device, 'File')
$dbbk.Initialize = $True
$dbbk.Incremental = $false
$dbbk.LogTruncation = [Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.BackupTruncateLogType]::Truncate
If (!$copyonly) { 
    If ($kill) {$smo.KillAllProcesses($dbname)}
    $dbbk.SqlBackupAsync($server) 
}
$dbbk

}

回答1:

"Slapping my head repeatedly and saying 'what was I thinking?'".

I created a new connection and used it to connect to the server. However, the actual backup statement uses $server (servername) instead of the $smo server object with the established connection. Consequently, the backup statement actually establishes a totally new connection devoid of the connection attribute to reset the default statement timeout.

Changing the backup statement to

$dbbk.SqlBackupAsync($smo)

fixes the problem.

回答2:

If you use SqlBackAsync how would you know if when the backup completes? I have the same problem as your original code... but my code has a function which depends on the backup to have completed successfully. So if I call async I need an operation to poll and check for the backup to complete.
