Time out when Process database in SSAS

I have a model in SSAS, and it is import mode, Capability is 1500,

 

Recently I deploy a model into the SSAS,When I process every single table, I can refresh it successfully, 

When I  processed the database full,  It prompt the below error all the times,

Could you please advise how to fix it? 

BTW, I have tried to set the SSAS server property ExternalCommandTimeout and ExternalConnectionTimeout to 0. it failed all the time.

Maybe you can set both parameters to 3600 seconds and try again.
Also, how big was the data you imported?

 

Best regards,
