Hi,
I have a query refresh that takes a very long time, whereas when I am in the query editor,
the preview is very quick.
Query Editor diagnostic tool :
(almost instant)
"close and apply" -> 30mn ...
What is thre difference between the 2 process so I can undertsand why it does take so much time in the normal refresh .
Or what steps can I do to solve the issue ?
Thank you,
