Guillaume, I have not tested it with DS.(DevStudio)
This issue has been discussed on ARSList (and reported to the vendor) multiple times across multiple version(AKA: years). However, in previous Admin Tool version I think you will find that the problem is actually a client timeout at the C API layer. Basically the Application Server can not get the objects together in one big string fast enough to return to the client before the client decides that the server fell off the face of the planet. And the last time I asked Tech support... there is no environment setting that you can set to adjust the timeout. So there is no known way to override the "reasonable" timeout when you know your doing something that will take a very long time to complete. In the past an approach to workaround this is to use things like Driver, or an API program to loop over all of the objects and export them one at a time. Maybe DS fixed that problem? ( But it does not sound like it to me.) What is amazing to me is that BMC Tech Support considers the fact that you can not export all of the objects at one time to be a "performance problem" and it is "the customers implementation" that is the root cause of the condition. (AKA: They are not even willing to open a bug against the version/API. So they take no responsibility and have no interest in re-implementing anything to avoid the problem of "slow customer hardware". And I have yet to have anyone from the company confirm that they have hardware that can actually do the task either.) -- Carey Matthew Black BMC Remedy AR System Skilled Professional (RSP) ARS = Action Request System(Remedy) Love, then teach Solution = People + Process + Tools Fast, Accurate, Cheap....
