Bundle Workflow fails consistently if the Bundle has large number of Items

Question

I am using the standard out the box workflow definition “Task Process”. When I add more than 13 items exact to the Bundle, it always fails at the 14th every single time. The error message in the Event log was:

The socket connection was aborted. This could be caused by an error processing your message or a receive timeout being exceeded by the remote host, or an underlying network resource issue. Local socket timeout was '00:01:00'. The write operation failed, see inner exception. The socket connection was aborted. This could be caused by an error processing your message or a receive timeout being exceeded by the remote host, or an underlying network resource issue. Local socket timeout was '00:01:00'. An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host

Component: Tridion.ContentManager.CoreService

Errorcode: 0 User: NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE

I tried to increase the WCF maxReceivedMessageSize and receiveTimeout properties for the main Tridion Web.config files with no luck

Any help is appreciated

Thanks for everyone commented, and tried to help to resolve my issue, Finally the issue was resolved by help from SDL Support, and here are the steps taken to resolve the issue:

1. In Tridion\bin\TcmServiceHost.exe.config
-  Change the CoreService_netTcpBinding binding
<binding name="CoreService_netTcpBinding"
transactionFlow="true"
transactionProtocol="WSAtomicTransaction11"
maxReceivedMessageSize="2147483647"
closeTimeout="00:30:00"
openTimeout="00:30:00"
receiveTimeout="00:30:00"
sendTimeout="00:30:00">
2. Add the followig before </behaviour>
<serviceTimeouts transactionTimeout="00:30:00" />
3. To increase the CoreService timeout:
In  %windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\Config\machine.config
and %windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\Config\machine.config
-  Change all instances of allowExeDefinition from "MachineOnly" to "MachineToApplication"
4. In two files mentioned in previous step, before </configuration> add the section below
<system.transactions>
<defaultSettings timeout="01:30:00"/>
<machineSettings maxTimeout="01:30:00" />
</system.transactions>
5. In %Tridion_HOME%\config\Tridion.ContentManager.config
- Provide a value for transactionTimeout in seconds
<session transactionTimeout="3600" />

Thanks everyone
