    I'm using the group populator (command line executable) along with it's entitlement database to populate groups that are managed by the ILM 2007 tool and I'm trying to figure out how to configure it (registry settings, xml file, command line parm?)

    Often the process times out and I'd at least like to know how I can increase the time out value (from it's default?)

    Hi Joe,

    That is a custom group populator we built for you - it's documented in your Design guide, section 8.2 MGroupPopulator.  I think the config file you're looking for is mgrouppopulator.exe.config - there you will find all of the connect strings and stored procedures.  You may have to step through them one by one to see which ones are encountering problems.

    Nice to hear from you Brad.  I was looking through the mgrpuppopulator.exe.config file but I hadn't seen anything which look like it would have any control over a time out.  I took a look through the different version of our Design guide along with the Build/Config and Operations guides and didn't find any references to the group populator.  Our number of managed groups and the filters associated when them has increased signifigantly and the time-out exceptions are becoming more prevalent.  Usually if I run the grouppopulator a second or third time the time-out exception disappears.

    I'll go through the stored procedures and see if I can see what's going on.  Thanks
