By "interrupting" a dataset refresh I mean that if a gateway server is rebooted without making sure that no refreshes were running on it, this may result in failed refreshes.

Is there any way to take a gateway offline while making sure that all running refreshes on that gateway finish, other than what I described in my original post (disabling the gateway in its cluster, then waiting until all running refreshes are over) ?

I agree that gateway updates should probably not be applied automatically, but this wouldn't be used for that. It would mainly be used to automate Windows updates.

this may result in failed refreshes.

Do you have evidence? In my experience another cluster member completes the mashups without the requestor even noticing (apart from the longer than usual timing).

    Someone else reported that behavior to me (and asked me to come up with a solution). I'll run some tests myself, maybe the person misunderstood what was happening.
