Web Service Properties Affecting Exports

The default values of the Recipe Exchange web service should allow for exporting anything in a typical configuration. However, if your configuration is unusually large or complex, you may have to change some of the default property values for the web service. If an export fails, try changing the following service property values and the corresponding values in the client program configuration file to the values shown:

OpenTimeout = 01:01:00
ReceiveTimeout = 01:10:00
SendTimeout = 01:01:00
MaxBytesPerRead = 4096
InactivityTimeout = 7.00:00:00
