Dataflow Refreshing Twice

Hi,

We have scheduled the Dataflow to refresh once a day at 4 am, sometimes the dataflow will refresh twice. Immediately completion of first Scheduled refresh, the next one will get triggerred with Type as Scheduled.

I have this happening too.  It seems to have started in the last few days

Here is the dataflow

 

It is going to a Filemaker database using ODBC.  

About a dozen tables.

Many thanks

Hi

 

just a quick update.  It seems that if I edit a dataflow, but do not immediately refresh it, then on the next scheduled refresh it then runs twice.

 

Once it has done that, it seems to settle back to refreshing once only on future refreshes.

cheers

opened a Support ticket and they told one of the options is to try changing the schedule time. After changing the Scheduled Refresh time this is not appearing  from almost last 2 weeks. 

That's good news.

cheers

Hi @shhemanth,

What type of data source are you test? Connection mode? Any reference or other operations that invoke other query tables?

Please share more detailed information to help us clarify your scenario.

The source is Oracle Database, this is a simple schedule everyday morning using the schedule option available in Dataflow. Not Triggerd by any other external program or operatin. Twice Refresh is happening randomly not everyday, once the scheduled refresh completes another refresh will get triggered with Refresh Type Scheduled.
