I get the below error while extracting data from vCenter 5.5 Server using C# vSphere 5.5 SDK (The underlying connection was closed: A connection that was expected to be kept alive was closed by the server.)
ERROR The underlying connection was closed: A connection that was expected to be kept alive was closed by the server.

Yje application works fine in test environment in our lab (with 2 hosts and 22 VM) but gives the above error when used in prod environment. Any help would be appreciated.
