I have a process to duplicate a small production database for export to bacpac blobs. It deletes the copy database from the previous day, waits 30 minutes then creates copy as in "CREATE DATABASE MyServer.MyDatabaseCopy AS COPY OF MyServer.MyDatabase". This has been working for months without incident.
Today, the "CREATE DATABASE AS COPY OF" operation failed with the following exception:
- System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Timeout expired. The timeout period elapsed prior to completion of the operation or the server is not responding. ---> System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception: The wait operation timed out
It looks like the copy got kicked off as the portal shows "...Copying", (see screen dump below).
This had been like this for hours. The database is very small, resulting bacpac files are less than a MB. Below is the sys.dm_database_copies result.
It look like this is hung on the server. Anybody have any ideas how to free it up?
