You are getting error as request timed out. Can you check if you are performing this action during low server load?

You may also need to check if database operation is taking too long time to execute this operation. Check on DB server if this is causing CPU/Memory spike.

there is not any load on the server, and i can login to the database without any problems, and the performance when i login to the DB and execute some quires is quite fast... i do not think the problem is related to the database performance ...
