What does this dataflow refresh failure mean

There was a problem refreshing your dataflow. {"RootActivityId":"02e564f7-8c26-4474-84c2-ae060c21f8ee" "ErrorMessage":"Cannot acquire lock for model '027b744c-4589-495d-91d9-dacba3fe3249/a8328cc6-b06b-4f81-9ec7-200a017f015e' because it is currently in use."}

 

This is resulting in the downstream dataflow when the linked upstream dataflow refreshes.

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

This can happen if there are multiple data streams scheduled to refresh at the same time and they are all trying to access the same model. In this case, only one data stream will succeed and all others will fail .

 

Hope it helps!
