Data Flows Schedule refresh not working consistently - Urgent help needed

Hello Community,

 

I want to bring this as a fresh discussion and seek help on managing data flows schedule refresh.  There is one data flow i have created and i knew that it holds only 30 records. However , it takes more 30 minutes to refresh the data flow. Am I doing something wrong in following processes ? 

 

Some where i read that If I am under premium capacity, they suggested to run datasets/dataflows at different times. But i checked the schedules and not more than 5 datasets are running currently.  In this way, I am not getting good use of dataflows and unable to convey pros of using data flows with clients . 

 

I am under Premium capacity and sure that environment doesnt have any momory issues as well. Could some one tell how to get rid of this situation ? 

 

Thanks,

G VEnkatesh

      Hi Gilbert,

       

      Thanks a lot for sharing those whitepapers. This information is very useful . I have reached out to Power BI Admin in my org. I have gone through some of those Statistics ( CPU Utilization and Memory usage) which we need to look at . I see that only 10 GB of Memory added for data flows . While my admin is yet to get back to me about the usage details, I would like to know if there is a way to increase this limits so that the dataflows will run faster . 

       

      At this time, I am just looking for one thing . I want my Dataflows to RUN FAST to make sure data is not old in my reports . We are not concerned about buying new hardware or clean up/flush out memory for dataflows to run fast. 

       

      Please assist !!! 

       

      Thanks,

        Hi Gilbert/Community,

         

        Also attaching the health statistics (metrics) currently we have our Premium capacity. While there are metrics for datasets and paginated reports as well, but i am particularly looking at dataflows only. 

         

         

        Based on this, What does you suggest for us to have the dataflows refresh quickly ? Also to avoid seeing stale data in reports, what is the frequency of refreshes i can do on each data flow ? 

         

        Thanks,

      Hi Lin,

       

      Sure .Thanks for the suggestions. We would certainly restart the premium capacity as a measure to free up the memory.
