It is possible to prevent HTTP timeouts, e.g. when assigning a partition to folders that contain millions or records.

This functionality is configurable at web.config level (see About web.config), by setting the  parameter executionTimeout to the appropriate value in seconds (default is 300 seconds):

<httpRuntime 

 maxRequestLength="409600" 

 requestLengthDiskThreshold="409600" 

 executionTimeout="300" 

 requestValidationMode="2.0" 

/>
