Salesforce Object Timeout
Hi Anonymous ,
I can provide you with some troubleshooting ideas to assist you in troubleshooting.
Please verify if there are any recent changes to the Salesforce environment that may affect API performance. Also ensure that there are no changes in your network environment that could cause connectivity issues.
Then please verify that the Salesforce Object Connector is working properly and that there are no issues with connectivity. Verify that Salesforce API limits have not changed or that you are not reaching them due to increased data volume or refresh frequency.

If these are fine, try optimizing the query. You can try reducing the amount of data transferred by filtering out unnecessary columns or rows. You can also try splitting the data into smaller chunks to reduce the load on the server.
If none of the above steps work, you can try increasing the timeout limit for the data source.

Post PatronHi, as workaround, maybe you can try to test your connection with a 3rd party connector. I've tried windsor.ai, supermetrics and funnel.io. I stayed with windsor because it is much cheaper so just to let you know other options. In case you wonder, to make the connection first search for the Salesforce connector in the data sources list:
After that, just grant access to your Salesforce account using your credentials, then on preview and destination page you will see a preview of your Salesforce fields:
There just select the fields you need. It is also compatible with custom fields and custom objects, so you'll be able to export them through windsor. Finally, just select PBI as your data destination and finally just copy and paste the url on PBI --> Get Data --> Web --> Paste the url.
