Allow flexibility in the number of failures before disabling scheduled refresh

Currently, if a scheduled refresh fails four times in a row, Power BI disables the refresh. This can give under half a day to fix an error. If a report is not business critical, the priority this fix is given can fall outside that time period. Ideally, we would like up to a week before disabling the refresh, so we can fix errors without manually having to turn back on the scheduled refresh for each report.

This is a "No brainer". If our internet goes down, I have to log on to re-enable the scheduled refresh. This means that the refresh service in not fully automated. User should be able to set the refresh failure behavior. Our PowerBi reports are "mission critical" in our manufacturing process. Please advise.

Agreed. Not only should the parameter be configurable but it would also help if the system could send out a different email subject line to alert of the "disabled refresh". This would make it easier for us to manage through Outlook.

this is very annoying since on of our refresh is dependent on frequent loads.

Hello,

 

I haven't observed any communication regarding whether the dynamic restriction to the number of schedules before refreshing is being considered. Many of our refreshes rely on loads, and four times seems quite limited.

This feature would make the scheduled refresh process more intuitive. 4 times is quite limiting. Please implement this.

Extremely annoying when you to go turn back on 50 refresh schedules because the gateway was down for a few hours.

Agree with everything already stated. In our case, whenever we perform maintenance on any of the systems that contain our source files, if the downtime exceeds our refresh interval x 4, then we have to manually restart every model. Unfortunately, restarts involve quite a bit of scrolling and cursor movement.

We get failures during school holidays as there is no attendance recorded - only I can reschedule so if I'm absent first day after a holiday, no one can reschedule. If I could amend the amount of failures allowed, I could change to the number of days in the holidays.

Please implement this. how many votes is needed? Surely this is a simple no brainer that shouldn't need votes - giving report publishers better control!?
