That sounds a lot like you are experiencing lock timeouts. Do you have a
lock timeout set for your connections using SET LOCK_TIMEOUT? The

Thanks for the response.

No, the app doesn't set that, and running SELECT @@LOCK_TIMEOUT from QA
returns -1.

Do any of your stored procedures set the lock timeout internally?
