Relaunch failed refreshes

Hi all,

 

I've been having a few connectivity issues that made it so that the planned refreshes on my workspaces fail from time to time.

 

I'm wondering if there's a failsafe way of making the refresh relaunch once when it fails ? For example, relaunching it 15min after failure time, so that we wait for the issue to resolve and try again.

 

Kindly,

Nossair

You can do that with Powershell scripts.  Poll for refresh status (wait for the end date to be available), check for status (Completed or not) , wait 15 minutes, initiate another refresh request.

 

Or use Power Automate to monitor emails that are sent when the refresh fails, and initiate the second refresh from there.  Beware that this may create unintended loops.
