Timeout Problem

I am writing an interface between Rhino/Grasshopper and SAP2000 r14 (FE program) through an API. When I run the program through the API sometimes SAP can't respond fast enough to the Grasshopper component and a "Server Busy" message comes up. The VB.Net component does not complete it's task until "Switch to" is pressed on the "Server Busy" dialogue box. This is obviously a big problem when you want to analyze very large models overnight. Is there a way of making the Grasshopper component persist in trying to access SAP until it get's through or just increasing the timeout setings.

Thanks,

D.
