Is there a way to find the connection command timeout setting from the server side?

We have a vendor supplied app that we do not have source code for, so we cannot look there to find the timeout.

is it a .net app? if it is you could use reflector to search for it in the dll's

I am interested in the command timeout. I don't know the nature of the app since it was supplied by a vendor.

Is there anyway to determine it only from the SQL Server side?

You can't determine it from the SQL Server side as it never gets passed to SQL Server. It's purely on the client side. The client is what breaks the connection when the timeout value has been surpassed.

I highly doubt that you'll find the info in Event Viewer as sodeep suggested. I'd bet quite a bit of money against it.

Check app's config file, log file and registry keys if it has any.

I am only interested in things I can see from the server side. As I suspected, it sounds like this information is not passed to the server so that is fine with me.

I can let developers deal with looking from the client side.
