Fixed: Connect CRMOnline with Custom Timeout

I was having trouble with same issue, I was using Connect-CrmOnline method to connect. But I fixed the issue and am able to pass custom timeout value. I am able to import a solution to Dynamics Online which takes around 22 minutes. I hope this will help.
Here is the code:
#1 Create ConnectionString
$cs = "RequireNewInstance=True"
$cs+= ";Username=$($Cred.UserName)"
$cs+= ";Password=$($Cred.GetNetworkCredential().Password)"
$cs+= ";Url=$CRMServerURL"
$cs += ";AuthType=Office365"
$cs+=";SkipDiscovery=True"
#2 Create a connection using ConnectionString (for Online)
$Conn = Get-CrmConnection -ConnectionString $cs -MaxCrmConnectionTimeOutMinutes $CrmConTimeOutMinutes
#3 Import Solution
Import-CrmSolutionAsync -SolutionFilePath $path -conn $Conn -MaxWaitTimeInSeconds $maxWaitTimeInSeconds -ActivateWorkflows -PublishChanges -BlockUntilImportComplete

What is release, and what is a deployment?

T o understand the concepts and the technical implementation in many tools, you need to know how tool vendors define the difference between a release and a deployment. A  release  is a package or container containing a versioned set of artifacts specified in a release pipeline in your CI/CD process. It also includes a snapshot of all the information required to carry out all the tasks and activities in a release pipeline, such as: The stages or environments. The tasks for each one. The values of task parameters and variables. The release policies such as triggers, approvers, and release queuing options. On the other hand,  Deployment  is the action of running the tasks for one stage, which results in a tested and deployed application and other activities specified for that stage. Starting a release starts each deployment based on the settings and policies defined in the original release pipeline. There can be multiple deployments of each release, even for one stage. ...

Considerations for deployment to stages

When you have a clear view of the different stages you'll deploy, you need to think about when you want to deploy to these stages.  Continuous Delivery is about deploying multiple times a day and can deploy on-demand. When we define our cadence, questions that we should ask ourselves are: Do we want to deploy our application? Do we want to deploy multiple times a day? Can we deploy to a stage? Is it used? A typical scenario we often see is continuous deployment during the development stage. Every new change ends up there once it's completed and builds. Deploying to the next phase doesn't always occur multiple times but only at night. When designing your release strategy, choose your triggers carefully and consider the required release cadence. Some things we need to take into consideration are: What is your target environment? Does one team use it, or do multiple teams use it? If a single team uses it, you can deploy it frequently. Otherwise, it would be best if you were a ...
