238 Gb Oracle File refresh (incremental) not working

Dear Reader,

can I ask for your help? We have a 238 Gb Oracle db, that we loaded in Pbi Desktop (2mb file size). The load took around 4 hours, then we published to Service environment with Incremental refresh.

The publishing was successful, however, we are not able to refresh. We set max refresh time out to 6 hours.

Not sure if the Oracle connection handles SQL code, we tried /* Select Top (100), from Db. ...... this code did not work

 

We can still refresh on desktop, and publish again the latest data, however, we want to automate this. Please advise

Hi @martijnth ,

You could try to connect to Oracle directly. And please set refresh table in the last several days or months (a smaller dataset), not go back with all your data  to see if that would help.
