I have just uploaded a manufacturer with 2190 items.
I am running BV Commerce Version 5.6. Prior to this import I had no issues. Everything was working just fine.

Issue #1 :confused:

When I try to Regenerate Dynamic Categories I am getting the following error. I have a dynamic category with the all of the manufacturers items.

Request timed out.[ ]

Ideas and suggestions greatly appreciated.

Is the database server on the same box as the web server?

Ok, also if the database server is on the same box you may need to do some memory management on the db server
just to make sure it is not consuming all the memory needed to run your application. SQL server is usually installed on
a stand alone server. It will consume every bit of free memory you have unless adjusted.
If you are using it in combo with other applications etc. some tuning is needed. When a crawler
hits your website it can quickly lock up the works. Also with a lot of user sessions.
The timeout adjust is OK but do you want your users waiting on page loads?
Most often they are off to another site if yours is slow.
