• The fix for the data warehouse BULK insert commands time-out issue that's described in Update Rollup 1 for System Center 2012 R2 Operations Manager adds a registry key. This key can be used to set the time-out value (in seconds) for the data warehouse BULK insert commands. These are the commands that insert new data into the data warehouse.
  
  Note This key must be manually added on any management server on which you want to override the default BULK insert command time-out.

  Registry location: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Microsoft OperationsManager\3.0\Data Warehouse
   

  DWORD name: Bulk Insert Command Time Out Seconds

  DWORD Value: 40
  
  Note Set this value in seconds. For example, for a 40-second time-out, set this value to 40.
