when does a scheduled refresh retry

[LindaSarace]

I am looking for an understanding of the logic behind scheduled refreshes when they fail. In some cases it appears that when a scheduled refresh fails, the Gateway retries and in other cases no retry is attempted. Here are some of the specifi questions I have:

1. Is there a separate time out for the data connection routine verses the actual refresh process? If so, what are the timesout values for each? Is there other timeout logic for any other routines around refreshing?

2. Are any of the timeout values configurable by a Data Gateway admin? If so, which and how do we access them?

3. Which of the routines/processes have built in retry logic? What are the rules around the retries, i.e. # of reties, frequency, etc.

4. Are any of the retry values configurable by a Data Gateway admin? If so, which and how do we access them?

On the point about Timeouts.  Thats controlled inside your data source setting.  When you are editing the Source line of your query, there is an optional box that allows you to specify the timeout.  From memory, the default is 10 minutes.

When you are in the Edit Queries section, find your table and click on the 'cog' icon next to "Source".  Expand the advanced options and look for the small data entry box that mentions timeout.

Hi @LindaSarace,

1. Please refer to refresh-troubleshooting-refresh-scenarios#scheduled-refresh-timeout.

2. No, we can't control it in the data gateway.

3. I think this could depend on the error types. If the credentials are wrong, no retry is necessary.

4. As far as I know, there aren't such settings. Please submit an idea here.
