apex ConvertLead - occasionally slow?
Hello - i have an apex webservice which creates a new Lead based on incoming information and, conditionally, Converts the Lead to an Account/Contact/Opportunity using Database.convertLead. occasionally - maybe 10% of the time (no pattern i can find) - it takes a very long time to run this method. i added some logging so that i could see the timestamp at various spots in the code, and the convertLead method takes 2-3 minutes to complete. (this causes some problems because the code is part of an apex web service - so the system calling the web service gets a timeout.
has anyone had a similar issue? any thoughts? i've considered doing the conversion asynchronously, but i need to return the newly created Ids to the calling system.
thanks

Timeout error occurs because webservice takes a while to get a response because it loads lots of data.
Here's an example of setting a custom timeout for Web services callouts:
Try setting the custom timeout for web service in apex class as-
stub.timeout_x = 2000; // timeout in milliseconds
Hope this helps.
