Currently, All my SQL Request showing "System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception: The wait operation timed out"

Question

Suddenly, all of sql server requests showing "System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception: The wait operation timed out". What is the quickest way to find the issue?

Stack Trace:

I got the SQl that is causing the blocking issue by,

Solution 1

Here how I was able to find the issue, First check all open transaction your database,

DBCC OPENTRAN ('Databse')

If there is an open transaction then Grab it's SPID and put it inside INPUTBUFFER

DBCC INPUTBUFFER (58)

This will give you the actual SQL. If you want,you can kill this transaction,

KILL 58

BTW, In my application I can use READ COMMITTED data,

SET TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL READ UNCOMMITTED

Or

Select * from Products WITH NoLock

Here is another way to find the SQl quickly,

SELECT
    [s_tst].[session_id],
    [s_es].[login_name] AS [Login Name],
    DB_NAME (s_tdt.database_id) AS [Database],
    [s_tdt].[database_transaction_begin_time] AS [Begin Time],
    [s_tdt].[database_transaction_log_bytes_used] AS [Log Bytes],
    [s_tdt].[database_transaction_log_bytes_reserved] AS [Log Rsvd],
    [s_est].text AS [Last T-SQL Text],
    [s_eqp].[query_plan] AS [Last Plan]
FROM
    sys.dm_tran_database_transactions [s_tdt]
JOIN
    sys.dm_tran_session_transactions [s_tst]
ON
    [s_tst].[transaction_id] = [s_tdt].[transaction_id]
JOIN
    sys.[dm_exec_sessions] [s_es]
ON
    [s_es].[session_id] = [s_tst].[session_id]
JOIN
    sys.dm_exec_connections [s_ec]
ON
    [s_ec].[session_id] = [s_tst].[session_id]
LEFT OUTER JOIN
    sys.dm_exec_requests [s_er]
ON
    [s_er].[session_id] = [s_tst].[session_id]
CROSS APPLY
    sys.dm_exec_sql_text ([s_ec].[most_recent_sql_handle]) AS [s_est]
OUTER APPLY
    sys.dm_exec_query_plan ([s_er].[plan_handle]) AS [s_eqp]
ORDER BY
    [Begin Time] ASC;
GO

Solution 2

Try to execute this command:

exec sp_updatestats

Solution 3

This type of SQL Server timeout error can occur on an attempt to INSERT or UPDATE a particular table, when a long-running SELECT query is currently executing on that table (depending on the isolation level of the SELECT).
