If you find the exact “Pending Pending” error, then most likely you have a database call that took longer than expected. This can be due to any number of things:
- The problem of transition networks
- High SQL Server utilization
- Problem with SAN, RAID or storage device
- Deadlock or other form of multiprocessing competition
You do not have enough information to troubleshoot. The way I would handle this is to check for other problems and see if there is a template, for example. if the problem occurs at a specific time of the day.
Of course, increasing the timeout is a good idea (if it is currently set fairly low) and can solve the problem on its own.
