Web Part Times Out
Issue Occasionally our sharepoint intranet site gives an error on an XML Web Part. The XML Web Parts reads an external rss feed and uses xslt to display the rss feed. Once the error occurs, it will continue until I log on the SharePoint server as an administrator. Background The sharepoint homepage has two sections that comes from external sources. Each section gets its data from http://feeds.feedburner.com. Occasionally these two sections do not appear on the website and instead give an error of: “Cannot retrieve the URL specified in the XML Link Property”. I notice that when I log onto the SharePoint server as an administrator, these two sections start working again (Nothing has to be done on the server…just log onto the server). I have modified the web part and tested the xml link...it always worked fine. Note The page works correctly for a while, and then about 2-3 times a week I get these errors. Any ideas?

So 2 to 3 times a week it will get and keep this error or is it just random? There are so many thing it could be... 1. IT really could be fb (i have issues all the time with them. 2. Internet issues at the time it tries to load. 3. When the user logs in are there other web parts that load that could cuase this issue (ie stress on the system)? Let me know about the just radom thing... Thanks Kris Wagner Kris Wagner, MCITP, MCTS Twitter @sharepointkris Blog: http://www.sharepointkris.com/blog
